Windows users are being warned about a bug that lets attackers take over a PC via the Internet Explorer browser.
The bug made possible webpages that can compromise a PC without a user spotting the attack, Microsoft warned.

Code to exploit the bug was circulating online which led Microsoft to label the bug "critical" and said users should apply a patch immediately.

At the same time a similar bug was found to be affecting the rival Firefox web browser.

Keep your system updated with the latest security patches. That's the least you can do. Besides, it takes very little effort.

That's what I usually do.
