    Need another reason to stop using XP? Here ya go.

    New Vulnerability Found in Every Single Version of Internet Explorer
    http://gizmodo.com/new-vulnerability-found-in-every-single-version-of-inte-1568383903?utm_campaign=socialflow_gizmodo_facebook&utm_source=gizmodo_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow
    According to a confirmation by Microsoft late last night, a new zero day vulnerability has been found to affect every version of Internet Explorer. In


    According to the article, this puts about a quarter of the entire browser market at risk. (Source: Fire Eye) In a refinement of phishing, this vulnerability takes advantage of memory corruption after the user has been lured to a malicious website.

    The vulnerability exists in the way that Internet Explorer accesses an object in memory that has been deleted or has not been properly allocated. 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. An attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit this vulnerability through Internet Explorer and then convince a user to view the website.
    And since Microsoft kinda stopped supporting XP earlier this month, people still blindly clinging to it won't get the upcoming patch for this day-zero "use after free" bug.

                                  With the amount of xp mods on the internet surely a patch will be released anyway.

                                  My IE doesnt even work anymore, if I try to boot it, all I get is a "not found" error code.
                                  Forgot where I put my old sig lol
