That was quick! Microsoft patches the "1776" hole in Internet Explorer

....
The bottom line is:
All versions of IE on all versions of Windows contain a security hole that could allow cybercriminals to implant malware on your computer with little or no warning.
Microsoft has published a security update that closes this hole so it can no longer be used to attack your computer.
We recommend you get the update as soon as possible if you haven't already.
Go to Control Panel | Windows Update if you aren't sure where to start.
One last thing is that even XP users can get this update, which applies to IE versions from IE 6 to IE 11, rather than to Windows itself.
