IE has a new bug

A bug, which is yet to be patched in IE7, is also found in IE6, IE5 and even the beta IE8, this bug is being exploited by hackers on computers that are running Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Server 2003 and Server 2008.

Microsoft have issued some stop gap solutions is to disable some of the computer functions and increasing the security level to high and that disabling scripting on the computer will prevent exploitation

However, experts are saying that this will not do the job; this is because it is still possible to trigger a vulnerability, although this will make it a little harder for the hackers to get into the computer, but with a little perseverance, it is still possible to get in.
