Microsoft has urged users to be wary as three newly discovered bugs leave people open to attack while using the net.
All three bugs affect the software firm's Internet Explorer browser.
Security firms said the vulnerabilities were already being targeted by malicious hackers keen to catch out unsuspecting users.
Microsoft said it would produce patches for the vulnerabilities in its next security update due on 11 April.
Attack vector
The first of the problems discovered in Internet Explorer will simply make the browser program crash if it is used to visit a specially crafted webpage.
The other two vulnerabilities are potentially more serious because they can be used to take control of a victim's computer.
Already, said security firms, specially written websites and hijacked servers were being used to host the malicious code that uses the loopholes to invade vulnerable machines.
In security bulletins about the trio of bugs, Microsoft played down the threat and said: "The attacks are limited in scope for now".
Microsoft usually issues security updates on the second Tuesday of every month and its security team is working towards this date, 11 April, to produce patches for the bugs. However, it said the patches would be released earlier if the threat grew significantly.
Those using the patched versions of IE bundled with Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 are vulnerable to these bugs. People trying out the Beta 2 version of Internet Explorer 7 are safe.
To avoid falling victim to such problems, try Firefox, a much more secure and easy to use browser |

Wolf-paw.com is launched! Ibex have launched a new, exciting web site that is dedicated to Jack Wolfskin. Stuart R Cunningham Outdoor Centres approached Ibex late in 2005 with a great idea to design an e-commerce system that would be dedicated to the fabtastic range of products produced by Jack Wolfskin.
Working closely with The Jack Wolfskin Grasmere Store and Jack Wolfskin in Germany, we have produced a fresh, simple to navigate system that the client has total control over. We have trained the company's web site team to administer the site, paying some attention to how to increase traffic through linking and optimisation of the site. We also support the shop 100%, helping the web site team to get the best out of their system. The whole site is based on a content management system allowing all the aspects of the web site to be administered by The Jack Wolfskin Store Grasmere. The system has a fully integrated commercial system built in, allowing for an infinite number of products. The system also has a built in reviewing system and a comprehensive news delivery system as well. Wolf Paw the first Jack wolfskin dedicated on-line store in UK

Ibex have helped K2 UK re-brand their website. The system deployed at the latter part of last year brought the existing site bang up to date but was also built with the flexibility required for running top selling brands in the UK. The new site gives K2 UK total control to administer their site without losing any uptime or the need to keep asking the web designers to add a page (although we are happy to help at any point if needed! We support clients 100% with training and trouble shooting). This gives all the control of the web site to K2 UK, allowing them to add news, galleries and trade users to their site. We are really happy with the outcome of the site as the system is modular based and allows for expansion into the many more functions the system will require in the future without loss of uptime or affecting the look of the site. http://www.k2-uk.co.uk |

 Ibex, working with Innovation Centre Europe, have re branded the Innovation Climate Questionnaire website and updated the entire questionnaire system. Using A CMS based website the ICE team can now keep the site up to date with all the news and research happening in the field of innovation. The questionnaire itself is a Flash based system that asks 64 questions and then measures the innovation climate of your work environment, allowing the user to print out their own graph and passing the data into a bigger system, allowing the ICE team to do an in-depth analysis of the data for any given firm.
