Microsoft urges customers to install security tool
Microsoft urged Windows users today to install a free piece of security software to protect PCs from a newly discovered bug in the Internet Explorer browser.
The security flaw, which researchers say could allow hackers to take remote control of an infected PC, affects Internet Explorer browsers used by hundreds of millions of consumers and workers. Microsoft said it will advise customers on its website to install the security software as an interim measure, buying it time to fix the bug and release a new, more secure version of Internet Explorer.
The free security tool, which is known as the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit, or EMET, is available from Microsoft.
