Microsoft releases security patch for several versions of the browser, Internet Explorer.  The security glitch allows web sites to capture information on the user's hard drive if they know the exact path and file name.  Many users install programs using the defaults so this would allow web sites operators to download common files such as an e-mail inbox.

Web site operators can also capture information that is in the 'clipboard' (the info from the last time the user used 'cut.')

Everyone using the Microsoft browser should fix this.
