Internet Explorer security flaw is currently being experienced by users of the Microsoft's internet browser. The tech giant is already doing its best to fix the security flaw of their IE in order to eliminate its vulnerability to hackers.

The United States Department of Homeland Security already issued a warning over the use of the Microsoft Internet Explorer, advising users to seek for an alternative software or browser when searching online. Microsoft also released a statement that the issue with the security flaw of their internet browser will be fixed until May 13, which will be done by producing a security patch that will solve the problem.

This information states that it is better to use alternative internet browsers for the meantime, until the company finds a solution for their IE security flaw which will be available next month.

Most computers that are affected on the Internet Explorer security flaw, are those that runs Windows XP, which was a result of Microsoft's move to stop developing software updates and security patches on the operating system.

The Department for Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) gave information that the Internet Explorer security flaw is found on IE versions 6 to 11, computers that runs these browsers will be susceptible to hacker attacks, and malware issues. Microsoft and CERT had known about these issues beforehand and was aware that hackers are accessing through the security defect of the IE, and that a coding mistake was detected as the main reason for this flaw.

Microsoft also issued a statement on Saturday, saying "The vulnerability may corrupt memory in a way that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user within Internet Explorer."

There are other alternatives to be used during the unavailability of the Microsoft Internet Explorer, some notable browsers are Google Chrome, Apple's Safari, and Mozilla Firefox.
