Microsoft has issued a "critical" warning over a newly-discovered flaw in Windows.

In a security advisory, the company warned of a loophole that could be used by malicious hackers to steal private information or hijack computers.

The bug potentially affects every user of the Internet Explorer web browser - around 900 million people worldwide.
Hurray for Internet Explorer? Really, I am so tired of seeing these news reports. I haven't used Explorer in many years - Is it really as bad as people say? Currently my gf uses Explorer a lot on my PC - Should I be concerned? :P

Considering that there are about five of these every month or so (according to MSUpdate), I wouldn't worry.
