We’ve gotten some questions here today about public reports claiming there’s a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer 7. This is an issue that we have under investigation and so we have some technical information we can share about the issue.

These reports are technically inaccurate: the issue concerned in these reports is not in Internet Explorer 7 (or any other version) at all. Rather, it is in a different Windows component, specifically a component in Outlook Express. While these reports use Internet Explorer as a vector the vulnerability itself is in Outlook Express.

While we are aware that the issue has been publicly disclosed, we’re not aware of it being used in any attacks against customers.

We do have this under investigation and are monitoring the situation closely and we’ll take appropriate action to protect our customers once we’ve completed the investigation.

i have also read many reviews about IE7.... its bad daw, some say it doesnt display some sites correctly, bloated, some security issues... i dont know if they are true or not... but after reading them murag d nako ganahan mo download sa IE7...
mas better pa kuno ang IE6. hehehe...

so the question is... to upgrade? or not to upgrade?

[darkwing]

ie7 still has ie6 code plus a few "features", firefox users have nothing to worry about
