Google has made some changes to their Desktop Search to block attackers from exploiting a security flaw in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. The best part about this is the modifications made by Google were on their end, and end users do not need to download any kind of patch or update.
It took Google roughly one week to fix (or at least prevent) a flaw in IE and protect their users. Microsoft is still “looking into the issue”.
Of course, people who use Opera or Firefox didn’t have to worry about this issue in the first place.
