Patch that Windows PC!

If your family computer runs on Windows (and you're still using the Explorer browser to surf), get this brand-new patch for that Explorer problem we featured last week. That patch page at Microsoft has instructions for home users right near the top. The Explorer flaw "allows online thieves to steal computer passwords and private data such as bank account numbers," the Washington Post reports, adding: "The patch does not fix the problem, instead it turns off the function inside Internet Explorer that contains the flaw. Microsoft is working on another patch to repair the hole." This article in CNET, "Another Internet Explorer flaw found," confirms our troubles are not over. But did we need confirmation?!
