MICROSOFT has issued a critical security alert that affects 900 million people using its Internet Explorer web browser.

The computer giant warned of a newly-discovered flaw in Windows that could be exploited by hackers to steal personal details or take over computers.

Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari browsers are all unaffected by the threat because, unlike Internet Explorer, they don't support MHTML files, where the problem lies.

A Windows update to fix the bug has not yet been released.

In the meantime, Internet Explorer users are being urged to patch their browser with a Microsoft Fixit patch:
