Fix it for Security Advisory 2847140 is available

We have updated Security Advisory 2847140 to include an easy, one-click Fix it to address the known attack vectors. The Fix it is available to all customers and helps prevent known attacks that leverage the vulnerability to execute code and should not affect your ability to browse the Web. Additionally, applying the Fix it does not require a reboot. We encourage all customers using Internet Explorer 8 to apply this Fix it to help protect their systems. Internet Explorer 6, 7, 9 and 10 are not affected.

The Fix it is an effort to help protect as many customers as possible, as quickly as possible. We continue to work on a security update to address this issue and we’re closely monitoring the threat landscape. Tomorrow, please visit our monthly Advance Notification Service (ANS) blog for details on the Security Updates being released in May’s Security Bulletin cycle.

Thank you,
