There was a recent discovery of a security flaw in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer that has been named New Zero Day.  This exploit specifically targets the use of the flash plug in and specific flash content.  The security flaw is found in IE 6 through 11, but is specifically targeting IE 9 and higher.

Atlantic Tomorrow’s Office is recommending that you use other mainstream browsers such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome until Microsoft can resolve the issue.  If you do not currently have these browsers loaded on your desktop you can follow the instructions below to complete the installation:

To install Firefox please click here, then double click the “Free Download” icon  to complete the installation.

To install Chrome please here, then double click the “Download Chrome” icon to complete the installation.

In the event you must use Internet Explorer, there are some steps to take in IE 10 and 11 such as turning on the Enhanced Protection Mode, disabling the flash plug-in, and/or utilizing the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit. Note that these will restrict functionality in the browser.  Please click here for additional formation on the Enhanced Protection Mode toolkit, including download instructions.

Once Microsoft releases a patch to resolve the security flaw we will deploy the fix to your Internet Explorer browser and send an additional notice to advise that you can resume using IE.
