Researchers have already discovered six flaws in Windows Vista. One
affects Internet Explorer 7. It could allow a malicious Web site to
infect a machine running Vista. There's no word from Microsoft on when
this flaw will be fixed, so it is recommended to watch for updates.
Another vulnerability could allow users to raise their privileges. This
flaw also affects Windows XP.
Internet Explorer 7, the latest version of the popular Web browser
from Microsoft, provides new and more powerful security features to help
protect your computer from viruses and spyware. Internet Explorer also
displays warnings when your personal information might be at risk. If
you haven't downloaded yet do so!
