The security flaw found in Internet Explorer and used in China as part of the attack on Google will soon be a thing of the past. Indeed, Microsoft has worked in the urgency to develop a patch that will be offered soon in the afternoon. This update of security called "critical" for of course all versions of Internet Explorer since grinds 6, 7 and 8 were all affected, whether in Windows XP, Vista, 7 but also Windows Server 2003, 2008 and 2008 R2.

All users of these operating systems have enabled automatic updates will therefore do nothing to ensure that their browsers be corrected.

Recall that following the attack on Google in China, Microsoft had issued a bulletin warning while French and German authorities had alerted their users the dangerousness of this flaw, inviting them to use an alternative browser until it be plugged. If one believes the figures published by the Sydney Morning Herald, this had the effect of booster downloads of Firefox, especially in Germany with 300 000 downloads from the weekend. Opera noted for his part in Australia downloads of its browser had increased by 40% since publication of the bulletin from Microsoft.
