All users of Internet Explorer need to update immediately to fix a critical security hole.

The other day we reported that a security hole had beenfound in Internet Explorer that was severe enough that experts were suggesting you not use it until a patch was issued.  Well, for those who were waiting, the security fix has been released.  Users will need to head to the Microsoft Update site and will find it is part of Microsoft’s security bulletin MS08-078.

While it is good news that this patch is out there, you will still have to wonder how many people never even know it was there, let alone that it is now fixed.  We still recommend you look at using other browsers such as Firefox, Chrome or Opera.
