Microsoft published a patch for Internet Explorer on Wednesday, aiming to close a month-old hole that has been used by viruses to spread and by an ad banner attack to compromise PCs.
While the world waits for Microsoft to issue a patch for the IFRAME flaw, Finnish authorities have advised their people to avoid using Internet Explorer.
Hackers are set to increase their use of banner ad exploits as a means of gaining remote control of computers.
Security experts are warning that hackers may have launched a wide-spread attack in Europe using banner ads to redirect users to Web sites that download malicious code.
Microsoft is admonishing those who found the IFRAME vulnerability - the flaw exploited by the bofra virus - for the way they made it public
The creators of the Bofra worm, which exploits a recently discovered iFrame vulnerability in Internet Explorer, may have timed the release of their worm to throw Microsoft's monthly patch cycle into disarray, say security experts.
