Finland Issues IE 6 Warning

Posted by timothy on from the finally-the-u.s.-and-europe-can-agree dept.

loconet writes "ZDNet UK reports that The Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority have warned computer users against using Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6 web browser as it has a serious security flaw that compromises computer systems. Microsoft has yet to announce when it will release a patch for the vulnerability, which does not affect XP SP2 users but does affect Windows 2000 users and XP SP1 users. The vulnerability was published at the beginning of November."
