Microsoft has issued an emergency update for the security flaw that was discovered in Internet Explorer in December. The problem was down to a flaw that tricked users into visiting infected websites that left computer users vulnerable to having their details, such as online banking information, stolen by cyber criminals. The patch is rated as 'critical' for those using Internet Explorer 5.01, 6 and 7.
