Microsoft is to shortly release a security patch for its Internet Explorer web browser to fix a critical flaw.

It is believed over 2 million computers have been infected by the virus. Around 10,000 web sites have been compromised – visiting them could infect a PC  with the virus.

All users of Internet Explorer – 5, 6, 7 and 8 – should apply the patch when available.

We also recommend that in the meantime IE users immediately discontinue its use and switch to a different web browser such as Firefox:  Find it at http://getfirefox.com/. All Open Brolly sites and web products are Firefox compatible.
