So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

Microsoft has a few workarounds, but keep in mind this is a really large group of browsers that effect everything from Win95 release 2 to Windows 7.

You could always dual boot into another OS or sandbox your IE browser while this problem is around as well. SandBoxie, etc... heck it might even be wise to permanently sandbox IE. Google sorta does with Chrome...

You don't HAVE TO remove Internet Explorer to use another browser...
Just install Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Safari and when you run it, it will ask you if you want it to be your default browser. That's it.
When the fix is available, install it. If you still think you NEED Internet Explorer as your main browser, simply run it again and it will ask you if you want it to be your default browser. That's it.
That and be web safe.
