Microsoft has issued an emergency patch for its Internet Explorer browser , aiming to fix a critical flaw that allowed hackers to take over computers merely by steering them to infected websites .
Microsoft Wednesday took the rare step of issuing the patch after numerous <m> security </m> experts advised people to switch to rival browsers until Microsoft fixed the problem .
Microsoft usually releases patches on a set schedule and this is only the third emergency patch in the last three years .
The flaw has been in circulation since the first week of December .

<m> Microsoft </m> on Wednesday released an emergency patch to fix a perilous software flaw allowing hackers to hijack Internet Explorer browsers and take over computers .
The US software giant said security update MS08-078 addresses a vulnerability cyber-criminals can exploit to their advantage .
`` Microsoft encourages all IE customers to test and deploy this update as soon as possible , '' said Microsoft security response communications head Christopher Budd .
The threat led Microsoft to mobilize security engineering teams worldwide to deliver a software cure `` in the unprecedented time of eight days . ''
According to researchers at software security firm Trend Micro , attacks based on the vulnerability in the world 's most popular Web browser were spreading `` like wildfire '' with millions of computers already compromised .
Microsoft typically releases patches for its software on the second Tuesday of each month and rushing this fix to computer users out-of-cycle is testimony to the severe danger of the threat , according to Trend Micro .
`` People should run , not walk , to get it installed , '' said Trend Micro advanced threat researcher Paul Ferguson .
`` This vulnerability is being actively exploited by cyber-criminals and getting worse every day . ''
The IE software patch will be automatically applied to hundreds of millions of personal computers due to standard update settings in the machines , according to Microsoft Security Response Alliance director Mike Reavey .
Wednesday morning , business networks using IE began getting the critical fix through routine patching processes .
Reavey said Microsoft went into `` emergency response '' mode on December 9 after it first learned of the attacks on IE browsers .
A day later , Microsoft published a security advisory that `` listed workarounds that blocked all known attacks . ''
`` Over the course of the next eight days , this advisory was updated five times , adding newer workarounds and mitigations , '' Reavey said .
`` We also continually monitored the threat environment , noting when the attacks began to change in nature and scope . ''
Trend Micro has identified about 10,000 websites that have been infected with malicious software that can be surreptitiously slipped into visitors ' unprotected IE browsers to take advantage of the flaw .
A major Internet portal in Taiwan is among the legitimate websites unknowingly tainted with malicious software aimed at IE 's weak spot , according to Ferguson .
Hackers can take control of infected computers , steal data , redirect browsers to dubious websites , and use machines for devious activities such as attacks on other networks , according to security specialists .
`` What makes this so insidious is it takes advantage of a big gaping hole of IE , which has the largest install base of any browser on the market , '' Ferguson said .
IE is used on nearly three-quarters of the world 's computers , according to industry statistics from November .
Reavey said the patch consists of more than 300 distinct updates for more than half-a-dozen versions of IE in scores of languages .
Analyst Rob Enderle of Enderle Group in Silicon Valley said it was `` amazing '' that Microsoft was able to turn out a complex critical fix in a week when such jobs typically can take a month or longer of intense work .
`` Even with that , the release Emergency Response process is n't over , '' Reavey said .
`` There is additional support to customers and additional refinement of our product development efforts . ''
Trend Micro urges IE users to heed precautionary advice from Microsoft , or avoid using the browsers , until the patches are applied .
The `` exploit '' is similar to one used recently to steal user names , passwords and other information from people playing online games in China , according to Trend Micro . |

Hackers can take control of infected computers , steal data , redirect browsers to dubious websites , and use machines for devious activities such as attacks on other networks , according to security specialists .
`` What makes this so insidious is it takes advantage of a big gaping hole of IE , which has the largest install base of any browser on the market , '' Ferguson said .
IE is used on nearly three-quarters of the world 's computers , according to industry statistics from November .
Reavey said the patch consists of more than 300 distinct updates for more than half-a-dozen versions of IE in scores of languages .
Analyst Rob Enderle of Enderle Group in Silicon Valley said it was `` amazing '' that Microsoft was able to turn out a complex critical fix in a week when such jobs typically can take a month or longer of intense work .
`` Even with that , the release Emergency Response process is n't over , '' Reavey said .
`` There is additional support to customers and additional refinement of our product development efforts . ''
Trend Micro urges IE users to heed precautionary advice from Microsoft , or avoid using the browsers , until the patches are applied .
The `` exploit '' is similar to one used recently to steal user names , passwords and other information from people playing online games in China , according to Trend Micro . |

Microsoft on Wednesday released an emergency patch to fix a perilous software flaw allowing hackers to hijack Internet Explorer browsers and take over computers .
The US software giant said security <m> update MS08-078 </m> addresses a vulnerability cyber-criminals can exploit to their advantage .
`` Microsoft encourages all IE customers to test and deploy this update as soon as possible , '' said Microsoft security response communications head Christopher Budd .
The threat led Microsoft to mobilize security engineering teams worldwide to deliver a software cure `` in the unprecedented time of eight days . ''
According to researchers at software security firm Trend Micro , attacks based on the vulnerability in the world 's most popular Web browser were spreading `` like wildfire '' with millions of computers already compromised .
Microsoft typically releases patches for its software on the second Tuesday of each month and rushing this fix to computer users out-of-cycle is testimony to the severe danger of the threat , according to Trend Micro .
`` People should run , not walk , to get it installed , '' said Trend Micro advanced threat researcher Paul Ferguson .
`` This vulnerability is being actively exploited by cyber-criminals and getting worse every day . ''
The IE software patch will be automatically applied to hundreds of millions of personal computers due to standard update settings in the machines , according to Microsoft Security Response Alliance director Mike Reavey .
Wednesday morning , business networks using IE began getting the critical fix through routine patching processes .
Reavey said Microsoft went into `` emergency response '' mode on December 9 after it first learned of the attacks on IE browsers .
A day later , Microsoft published a security advisory that `` listed workarounds that blocked all known attacks . ''
`` Over the course of the next eight days , this advisory was updated five times , adding newer workarounds and mitigations , '' Reavey said .
`` We also continually monitored the threat environment , noting when the attacks began to change in nature and scope . ''

Microsoft on Wednesday released an emergency patch to fix a perilous software flaw allowing hackers to <m> hijack </m> Internet Explorer browsers and take over computers .
The US software giant said security update MS08-078 addresses a vulnerability cyber-criminals can exploit to their advantage .
`` Microsoft encourages all IE customers to test and deploy this update as soon as possible , '' said Microsoft security response communications head Christopher Budd .
The threat led Microsoft to mobilize security engineering teams worldwide to deliver a software cure `` in the unprecedented time of eight days . ''
According to researchers at software security firm Trend Micro , attacks based on the vulnerability in the world 's most popular Web browser were spreading `` like wildfire '' with millions of computers already compromised .
Microsoft typically releases patches for its software on the second Tuesday of each month and rushing this fix to computer users out-of-cycle is testimony to the severe danger of the threat , according to Trend Micro .
`` People should run , not walk , to get it installed , '' said Trend Micro advanced threat researcher Paul Ferguson .
`` This vulnerability is being actively exploited by cyber-criminals and getting worse every day . ''
The IE software patch will be automatically applied to hundreds of millions of personal computers due to standard update settings in the machines , according to Microsoft Security Response Alliance director Mike Reavey .
Wednesday morning , business networks using IE began getting the critical fix through routine patching processes .
Reavey said Microsoft went into `` emergency response '' mode on December 9 after it first learned of the attacks on IE browsers .
A day later , Microsoft published a security advisory that `` listed workarounds that blocked all known attacks . ''
`` Over the course of the next eight days , this advisory was updated five times , adding newer workarounds and mitigations , '' Reavey said .
`` We also continually monitored the threat environment , noting when the attacks began to change in nature and scope . ''
Trend Micro has identified about 10,000 websites that have been infected with malicious software that can be surreptitiously slipped into visitors ' unprotected IE browsers to take advantage of the flaw .
A major Internet portal in Taiwan is among the legitimate websites unknowingly tainted with malicious software aimed at IE 's weak spot , according to Ferguson .
Hackers can take control of infected computers , steal data , redirect browsers to dubious websites , and use machines for devious activities such as attacks on other networks , according to security specialists .
`` What makes this so insidious is it takes advantage of a big gaping hole of IE , which has the largest install base of any browser on the market , '' Ferguson said .
IE is used on nearly three-quarters of the world 's computers , according to industry statistics from November .
Reavey said the patch consists of more than 300 distinct updates for more than half-a-dozen versions of IE in scores of languages .
Analyst Rob Enderle of Enderle Group in Silicon Valley said it was `` amazing '' that Microsoft was able to turn out a complex critical fix in a week when such jobs typically can take a month or longer of intense work .
`` Even with that , the release Emergency Response process is n't over , '' Reavey said .
`` There is additional support to customers and additional refinement of our product development efforts . ''
Trend Micro urges IE users to heed precautionary advice from Microsoft , or avoid using the browsers , until the patches are applied .

<m> Microsoft </m> has released an emergency security update to fix the vulnerability in Internet Explorer that has seen the computers of at least two million users hacked .
The `` zero day '' flaw allows hackers to gain access to the computers of visitors to infected websites , jeopardising the security of passwords , bank details and other personal information .
It is believed that as many as 233,000 web pages have been affected .
Microsoft says its `` critical '' update will protect users .
Christopher Budd , of the software giant 's security centre , said the company `` encourages all Internet Explorer customers to test and deploy this update as soon as possible '' .
Mike Reavey , also from the security centre , said : `` Even with that , the release Emergency Response process is n't over .
There is additional support to customers and additional refinement of our product development efforts . ''
Microsoft has said that the flaw has been proven to exist only in version 7 of Internet Explorer , but that version 6 and the `` beta '' release of version 8 are also `` potentially vulnerable '' .
It has estimated that one in every 500 Windows users has been exposed to websites that attempt to exploit the flaw , and that the number of victims was increasing by 50 per cent every day .

Microsoft has released an emergency security update to fix the vulnerability in Internet Explorer that has seen the computers of at least two million <m> users </m> hacked .
The `` zero day '' flaw allows hackers to gain access to the computers of visitors to infected websites , jeopardising the security of passwords , bank details and other personal information .
It is believed that as many as 233,000 web pages have been affected .
Microsoft says its `` critical '' update will protect users .
Christopher Budd , of the software giant 's security centre , said the company `` encourages all Internet Explorer customers to test and deploy this update as soon as possible '' .
Mike Reavey , also from the security centre , said : `` Even with that , the release Emergency Response process is n't over .
There is additional support to customers and additional refinement of our product development efforts . ''
Microsoft has said that the flaw has been proven to exist only in version 7 of Internet Explorer , but that version 6 and the `` beta '' release of version 8 are also `` potentially vulnerable '' .
It has estimated that one in every 500 Windows users has been exposed to websites that attempt to exploit the flaw , and that the number of victims was increasing by 50 per cent every day .

Microsoft rushes out security patch for Internet Explorer
17 September 2013 - 21 : 29
Normally , Microsoft releases security bulletins for software products on the second Tuesday of each month .
That happened last week as scheduled , but today the company announced <m> it </m> has rushed out an additional patch designed to fix an exploit that has been found in Internet Explorer , and is being used in attacks on IE8 and IE9 .
In a post on its security response blog , Microsoft says the issue would allow a hacker to launch a remote code execution if a person surfs to a website using IE that contains malicious code .
The blog adds , "There are only reports of a limited number of targeted attacks specifically directed at Internet Explorer 8 and 9 , although the issue could potentially affect all supported versions . "
The company has released a "Fix - it" patch , "CVE - 2013 - 3893 MSHTML Shim Workaround" to plug this security hole in all currently supported versions of IE .
In addition , Microsoft recommends that users set their security settings on the web browser to "High" to block any ActiveX Controls and Active Scripting on websites .
It also recommends users set up IE so that it informs them ahead of time before running any Active Scripting features .
The company plans to release a full security patch that will be a more complete solution to this problem in the near future . |

In a post on its security response blog , Microsoft says the issue would allow a hacker to launch a remote code execution if a person surfs to a website using IE that contains malicious code .
The blog adds , "There are only reports of a limited number of targeted attacks specifically directed at Internet Explorer 8 and 9 , although the issue could potentially affect all supported versions . "
The company has released a "Fix - it" patch , "CVE - 2013 - 3893 MSHTML Shim Workaround" to plug this security hole in all currently supported versions of IE .
In addition , Microsoft recommends that users set their security settings on the web browser to "High" to block any ActiveX Controls and Active Scripting on websites .
It also recommends users set up IE so that it informs them ahead of time before running any Active Scripting features .
The company plans to release a full security patch that will be a more complete solution to this problem in the near future . |

Microsoft will push out an out - of - cycle Windows patch to temporarily fix the critical Internet Explorer flaw revealed earlier this week .
"While we have only seen a few attempts to exploit the issue , impacting an extremely limited number of people , we are taking this proactive step to help ensure Internet Explorer customers are protected and able to safely browse online , " Microsoft Trustworthy Computing director Yunsun Wee said in a blog posting on Sept . 18 .
"The Fix it is an easy - to - use , one - click , full - strength solution any Internet Explorer user can install , " Wee wrote .
"It will not affect your ability to browse the Web , and it will provide full protection against this issue until an update is available .
It won ’ t require a reboot of your computer .
"This Fix it will be available for everyone to download and install within the next few days , " she added .
Microsoft usually pushes out software updates and security patches on the second Tuesday of every month .
Out - of - cycle patches are reserved for the most serious flaws .
It's not clear what exactly Microsoft has in mind , if , as Wee indicates , the "fix it" is not a real update .
Microsoft initially suggested that all Internet Explorer users install and configure a utility called the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit ( EMET ) to prevent exploitation of the flaw , but admitted EMET might interfere with other applications .
Most security experts , and the German government , have recommended a simpler solution : Stop using Internet Explorer entirely until the flaw is fully fixed .
The Internet Explorer vulnerability allows an attacker to gain remote control of a Windows machine at the same level of privilege as the current user .
That's not so bad if a given machine's current user has limited privileges , but very serious if the current user has administrator rights and can install , modify or delete software .
The flaw affects all currently distributed and supported versions of Internet Explorer and Windows : Internet Explorer versions 6 , 7 , 8 , and 9 and Windows XP , Vista and 7 , as well as Windows Server 2003 , and 2008 .
Windows 8 , due to be released to the general public Oct . 26 , and its accompanying Web browser , Internet Explorer 10 , are not affected .
