| Microsoft has issued a critical security patch for its infamous Internet Explorer browser |
MICROSOFT has patched the latest in a long string of bugs crippling its infamous internet browser.
Internet Explorer users can breath a sigh of relief.
Microsoft this week patched a number of critical Internet Explorer security flaws, which affect every version of the best-selling operating system from Vista to Windows 10.
One of the Internet Explorer flaws allowed hackers to remotely access the victim's machine after luring the user to a specially crafted webpage.
The security flaw was present in Internet Explorer versions 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
Microsoft's new web browser – Edge – is not affected by the same flaw. Unfortunately – nobody is using it.
The Windows 10 fix rolled out to consumers earlier this week.
It also patched how the infamous web browser handles memory and added additional permission validations.
