BANGALORE: If you use Internet Explorer as your Web browser, then beware of the security flaw that compromises your computer.

The company is urging users to download and install the patch available at its Web site, www.microsoft.com/security. "A security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to compromise a computer running Internet Explorer and gain control over it," says the Web site.

According to Web statistics, 73.5 per cent of netizens use Internet Explorer.
