Internet Explorer
Earlier this month, Microsoft announced yet another bug in Internet Explorer affecting versions 6 and 7 which could potentially allow attackers to gain full control over an unsuspecting user’s machine. This bug is particularly serious and as yet Microsoft have not released a fix. Upgrading to IE 8 however, solves the problem. This is a classic example of why you should make sure your IT support company keeps all of your Windows devices up to date with the latest Service Packs and patches. The vast majority of attacks, be it through hacking or malicious code, can be avoided by keeping Windows systems up to date – a simple measure to implement and one which could save your business hours if not days in downtime.
