Browser bug could get early patch
Published September 25th, 2006
Microsoft is considering the early release of a fix for a bug in Internet Explorer that malicious hackers are actively exploiting online.
The software giant usually only releases patches once a month but said it might put the fix out sooner if the problem grew severe enough.
Via the bug, hackers can take over Windows machines and implant spyware or bombard people with unwanted adverts.
Independent, unofficial patches have already appeared from security firms.
