A remote code execution exploit in Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 was discovered in December, for which Microsoft has yet to release an official security update addressing the issue. It is recommended to upgrade to Internet Explorer 9 or 10 immediately. For Windows XP users who cannot upgrade, either install another browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, or install a temporary Microsoft “Fix It” solution until a full security update is ready.
A web browser is a software program used to process and display web pages located on the World Wide Web (WWW) using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Web page content most commonly includes text, graphics, multimedia files such as video and audio, and interactive software (web email, banking etc.). Web pages often have hyperlinks that web browsers can follow to retrieve web pages referred to elsewhere via URLs (Uniform Resource Locator).
