By Larry Smith

> Another bug in Explorer
> By Alex Lash and Nick Wingfield

> Microsoft's (MSFT) respite from the wave of security bugs that hit
> Internet Explorer in March is over.
>
> The latest security bug affects users of Internet Explorer 3.x. Also
> affected are users of the platform preview release of Explorer 4.0 who
> also have PowerPoint, Microsoft's presentation software, loaded onto
> their computers. The glitch could allow a malicious Web site to execute
> any program on a user's computer without permission, including deleting
> files and uploading private information.
