Just a note to say if you run Internet Explorer you must install this update or FIX if you prefer Mr Fix-it.
It basically means if you don't another person can sit between you and your websites and surf your Facebook, twitter or anything else you use with a password on your browser. As the site believes it is you!

This Fix it solution addresses the issue that was previously described in Microsoft Security Advisory (2887505): Vulnerability in Internet Explorer could allow remote code execution We are providing this Fix it solution as workaround if you are not able to apply security update 2879017.
I use Firefox (and chrome for media).
But you may use IE and you must sort this out ASAP!

Re: Internet Explorer Browser Exploit - Fix it Now!
To be blunt, the best advice is to never use Internet Explorer: it's always been terrible and always will be.
Sadly, browsers are pretty cr*p in general so it does seem to be a case of trying to choose the least worst. I find it hard to endorse Firefox (my current browser of choice) with any enthusiasm, but at least it's not Internet Explorer.

Re: Internet Explorer Browser Exploit - Fix it Now!
My commiserations! I remember going through all that malarky when I was writing a lot of css years ago. It wasn't fun. Especially having to do all the special IE compatibility stuff, which took at least as long as everything else put together...I have to use them all to test this site on all platforms all the time :)P
