Should your company stop using Internet Explorer?

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) has yet to patch a vulnerability in some versions of Internet Explorer that allow remote code execution, but not every corporation could easily change browsers, industry experts say.

Last weekend, the German Federal Office for Information (BSI) Security warned users against using versions 6, 7 and 8 of the browser until Microsoft patched the vulnerability referred to Microsoft in advisory 979352, the remote execution security hole believed to be connected to recent attacks on search engine Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG)

Then the French Centre d'Expertise Gouvernemental de Réponse et de Traitement des Attaques informatique has issued its own warning to the same effect.
