Microsoft has released a critical security patch to plug vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer, a move that comes amid malicious attackers taking advantage of the security flaws.
Microsoft on Tuesday issued five "critical" security patches designed to address vulnerabilities in Windows, Microsoft Office, and Internet Explorer.
Microsoft yesterday announced new security features within the upcoming release of Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2.
The scalp of Mac OS X has been waved trophy-like after being hacked in controlled environments, yet security researchers are hard pressed remembering the last time a Mac was compromised in the wild.
Security researcher Michal Zalewski has published four new vulnerabilities for Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
It's always funny watching an event force a company to break old habits and this IE zero day was enough for Microsoft to do it. As Microsoft Australia's strategic security advisor Stuart Strathdee said "we pulled all stops to get this patch out".
Last week, two security companies spoke to me about their new products and I suddenly realised that we are close to losing the war against spyware.
Today, Symantec released Norton 360 Version 2.0, but I wonder whether the security giant has learned from its past mistakes?

Microsoft is going to let everyone -- even people with an illegal pirate copy of Windows XP -- download IE7 because the software giant really cares about the safety and security of all Internet users. (But don't mention Firefox ...)
The Mozilla Foundation is perhaps best known for its Firefox web browser, an open source offering that was first developed to go head-to-head with Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
The security flaws plaguing Internet Explorer has led to a renewed interest in other browser options, with market research pointing to Firefox as the leading choice. But a bigger problem, if left unresolved, could lead to corporate bottom lines being affected.

After a decade, even your mom buys books online. But are "secure" transactions secure enough?
A new security problem that exploits Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser has shaken the online banking community. Perhaps it's time to explore other options?

Internet Explorer 8 takes some long-needed strides to bring it up to speed with its competitors. It's more secure, with tab sandboxing and more aggressive malicious site warnings, and introduces some slick new features like Accelerators and Web slices.

Internet Explorer is broken, and the bad guys know it. As you type, criminal hackers could be recording your bank login and password information. Robert offers some tips for staying safe online.
No new changes in this latest build of IE 7 from Microsoft, except for more stability and application compatibility, but this browser still is not ready for prime time.
A security start-up is borrowing a technique from the research labs to try to give Internet Explorer PCs relief from Web-based attacks.
Is Internet Explorer 7 just another security patch disguised as a "new" offering? Should it rightfully be called IE 6.1 for Windows XP Service Pack 2, asks Fran Foo.
It's been a while since Internet Explorer faced a worthy opponent, but Mozilla Firefox seems to be one that could make a serious dent in Microsoft's browser dominance.
