IE Patch To Fix 57 Vulnerabilities

[wraggster]

Microsoft is advising users to stick with other browsers until Tuesday, when 57 patches for Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8, 9, and even 10 (http://www.zdnet.com/patch-tuesday-ie-at-risk-of-malware-attacks-57-flaws-in-total-7000011012/#comments) are scheduled. There is no word if this patch is to protect IE from the 50+ Java exploits that were patched last week or the new Adobe Flash vulnerabilities. Microsoft has more information here (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms13-feb). In semi-related news, IE 10 is almost done for Windows 7 and has a IE10 blocker available for corporations (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36512). No word on whether IE 10 will be included as part of the 57 updates
