Today we released a downloadable tool called a “Fix it” that we mentioned in this blog yesterday.
Earlier this week, an issue impacting Internet Explorer affected a small number of customers. The potential existed that more customers could be affected. As a result, we have released a Fix it to address the issue. This easy, one-click solution will help protect your computer right away. It will not affect your ability to browse the web, and it does not require a reboot of your computer.
On September 21, we will release a cumulative update for Internet Explorer through Windows Update. We recommend that you install this update immediately. If you have automatic updating enabled on our computer, you won’t need to take any action – it will automatically update your machine. This update will reinforce the issue that the Fix it addressed and it will also cover other issue.
