Microsoft Internet Explorer users have something new to worry about. There is a new and harmful Microsoft Internet Explorer Zero Day Vulnerability that is spreading and you need to pay attention to. That is...unless you take PCmoders advice and don't use it. This one was so bad they immediately created a patch for the issue. You can get it here - Security Bulletin MS10-002.

This one seems particularly harmful as it allows remote access to your PC...there are also rumors that you don't even have to browse the internet to be exploited. This security update is rated Critical for all supported releases of Internet Explorer: Internet Explorer 5.01, Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1, Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Explorer 8 (except Internet Explorer 6 for supported editions of Windows Server 2003).

Hackers linked to China used a zero-day vulnerability in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer browser to compromise corporate systems at more than 30 U.S. companies, including Google, Adobe and Juniper Networks.

You sould get this update as soon as possible if you are a Windows user...unless of course you don't mind someone else taking control of your PC.
