Thanks to Jordan over at
DownloadSquad for pointing out that although Microsoft is waiting until Patch Tuesday to release fixes for
critical vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer, two different temporary patches have already been released by separate security
companies.
While I would always caution users to avoid patching their system with unofficial patches, it's nice to
know that it's possible to create a fix as quickly as these two companies have been able to. If you have an
alternative browser like Firefox or Opera, I would recommend using that until Microsoft is able to officially patch
the vulnerability. If you don't, you many need to weigh the risks of installing a 3rd party patch to protect your
browser against the current
vulnerability.
