Security flaw in Internet Explorer

A New Security Flaw has been identified in the Microsoft Corp's Internet Explorer Browser.

The flaw lets criminals take over victims' machines merely by tricking them into visiting websites tainted with malicious programming code.

According to the anti-virus software maker Trend Micro Inc. as many as 10,000 sites have been compromised since last week to exploit this browser flaw.

Microsoft said, it is working on the flaw and is planning to fix the problem through an emergency software update. Currently they are also providing some complex workarounds to minimize the threat.
