   Microsoft urges IE users to install tool

   Microsoft has urged Windows users on Monday to install a free piece of security software to protect PCs from a newly discovered bug in the Internet Explorer browser.

   The security flaw, which researchers say could allow hackers to take remote control of an infected PC, affects Internet Explorer browsers
   The free security tool, which is known as the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit, or EMET, is available on Microsoft's website.

   McAfee security division, said it might be a daunting task for home users to locate, download and install the EMET tool.

   "For consumers it might be easier to simply click on Chrome," Marcus said.

   Germany urges public to stop using Internet Explorer

   Some security experts had said it would be too cumbersome for many PC users to implement the measures suggested by Microsoft. Instead they advised Windows users to temporarily switch from Internet Explorer to rival browsers such as Google Inc's Chrome, Mozilla's Firefox or Opera Software ASA's Opera.

   Internet Explorer was the world's second-most widely used browser last month, with about 33 percent market share, according to StatCounter. It was close behind Chrome, which had 34 percent of the market.
