As many of you may be aware, an exploit in Microsoft Internet Explorer was recently discovered. The Department of Homeland Security has recommended that users do NOT use Internet Explorer until a fix is released. The exploit known as Zero Day, allows for a malicious web site to use IE and the Adobe Flash player installed on systems to gain permissions on a computer equal to that of the current user. For most companies that means the ability to install malicious software which can disable or bypass security or anti-virus, especially if the user (you) has administrative rights. This exploit is especially serious for Windows XP users as no automatic patch or update will be made available. There will be a manual fix for Windows XP users but not an automated Windows Update. The links to download and install Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox are below. We advise you to uncheck any optional installations such as toolbars or antivirus: mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ https://google/intl/en/chrome/browser/
