    Operation Aurora

    I hope you're all aware that there is a rather dangerous bug in Internet Explorer at the moment which has already been successfully used (Google China). You click on a link to a web site and your PC gets a Trojan Horse installed that allows someone to take control of it.

    Here's a link to an explanantion (Best practice: Look at the link before clicking on it to make sure it looks legitimate. Don't click if you're not sure..)

    What you need to do:

    Run Windows Update now if you don't have automatic update (the patch was released on Thursday 21st January).

    Don't go clicking on any of the links that SPAMers post on this site because it might be a trap (example: Hello!) . The initial attack is over but you can be sure that other people will try to exploit the same vulnerability in Internet Explorer.

    I have auto update, but if anyone is not running auto update you can temporarily close the breach by setting your security settings for your browser to "high" until you get the patch.
