Microsoft Offers Workaround But No Patch for Critical IE Flaw

PCWorld.com - Microsoft Offers Workaround for IE Flaw: "Microsoft has released software that can be used to mitigate a critical vulnerability in Internet Explorer that was first reported last week."


It Continues:

Microsoft has not yet decided whether it will release a software patch that would fix the underlying problem, a spokesperson for Microsoft's public relations agency says. 'The workaround that they've offered here doesn't fix the underlying vulnerability, but it removes the functionality,' she says.


And Continues:

Danish security company Secunia gave the vulnerability its most serious rating, calling it 'extremely critical.'"


Firefox anyone? How long will it take for everyone to realize that Firefox is bettern, safer, and easier to use?
