http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8886570/SAN FRANCISCO - Microsoft Corp. warned users of its Windows operating system on Tuesday of three newly found "critical" security flaws in its software, including one that could allow attackers to take complete control of a computer.
The world's largest software maker issued patches to fix the problems as part of its monthly security bulletin. The problems affect the Windows operating system and Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser. (MSNBC is a Microsoft-NBC joint venture.)
Computer security experts urged users to download and install the patches, which are available at www.microsoft.com/security.
"Users (should) apply the updates as quickly as possible," said Oliver Friedrichs, senior manager of Symantec Security Response, part of security software company Symantec Corp.
