Security Update for Internet Explorer

Due to the recent security vulnerability that affects all versions of Internet Explorer, Microsoft has released an emergency patch that addresses the issue.  In a surprising move, Microsoft has issued a security update for Windows XP users despite ceasing to support XP last month.  The recent attacks through I E prompted the action and most Windows users will not need to take any action as they have automatic updates enabled and the protections will be installed and protected automatically.  If unsure, anyone using Internet Explorer versions 7 through 11 should run Windows Update immediately to obtain the patch.  The link is www.windowsupdate.com.  Microsoft encourages customers to upgrade to the latest version of I E.
