Because of a critical vulnerability inside the browser Microsoft Internet Explorer, we suggest all internet users not to use the Internet Explorer!

Affected are the versions 7,8 and 9 under Windows XP, Visa, Windows 7 and 8.

Only a visit to a compromised website has the consequence, that malware with fatal consequences is installed automatically to the computer of the website-vistor.  

HackAlert24 suggests to use alternative browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox oder Safari meanwhile, until Microsoft offers a security update.

Furthermore it is recommended, that all webmasters monitor their websites or webshops periodically for known hack patterns, that in the case of vulnerability it gets possible to react as fast as possible. Therefore we suggest you the hack monitoring services  from HackAlert24. 

Microsoft will publish a security update expected within the next days. But this will not stop the circulation of malware over arbitrarily websites.
