Microsoft warns of specially critical lack of security
Today Microsoft which is the worldwide biggest producer of software has pointed out to
a critical lack of security in its WWW-browser Internet Explorer which has been known
for some weeks. According to the statement users can be infected by Trojans on pages
which seems to be reliable. This applies to servers which use the Microsofts Internet Information Services (IIS)
and which have been manipulated by another lack of certainty. This can be fixed by
a patch. The lack in the Internet Explorer can be only fixed by installing of a preversion
of the Service Pack 2 for Windows XP but which should not be used on computers which are
used in the production. You also can set the preferences of security of the Internet Explorer
to "high" but thus you cannot use JavaScript any longer. Those ones who do not want to
risk something should not use the Internet Explorer as long as it is not fixed.
