ARE YOU AFFECTED?
Microsoft disclosed on Saturday its plans to fix the bug, which targets Internet Explorer versions 9 through 11.
Those versions take up 26.25 percent of the browser market, according to FireEye, the cybersecurity software company that caught the bug.
The bug, however, reportedly affects versions 6 through 11.
Together, those versions dominate desktop browsing, accounting for 55 percent of the PC browser market, according to tech research firm NetMarketShare.
In addition to possibly switching to an alternative web browser, US-CERT advised businesses to consider using a free Microsoft security tool known as EMET, or the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit, to thwart potential attacks.
Security experts say EMET is helpful in staving off attacks, but businesses are sometimes reluctant to use it because it can cause systems to crash due to incompatibility with some software programs.
