Microsoft issues security warning for XP users
Software giant Microsoft has released a warning about a computer security vulnerability before it has even released a patch for the problem.
The flaw, which was announced by the company yesterday, affects users of web-browser Internet Explorer that is running on Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 operating software. The flaw allows hackers to remotely control a user's computer.
If a user visits a site infected with malware, the flaw could be used immediately by hackers. Microsoft is calling the flaw the ‘Zero Day' vulnerability.
