Dave Murphy, DGL President & ITrain founder Microsoft has posted a single patch to fix all three security bugs in its Internet Explorer Web browser.

Without the patch, an unscrupulous Web site operator could take advantage of the flaws to access information stored on your hard disk, including running programs, changing or deleting data files, and sending email using your name and address.

The patch was posted late Saturday at the Microsoft Corp. official Web site and can be downloaded for free. The flaw affects Internet Explorer versions 3.0 and 3.01 for the Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 operating systems.

Microsoft's website is http://www.microsoft.com/.
