I've been hearing about a security flaw in Microsoft Internet Explorer, what should I do?
I stopped using Internet Explorer for now, but I don't know if my computer is at risk or not.
Please help!
The full guide can be viewed at Microsoft's site to install / uninstall Internet Explorer 9 (eg use IE8):

I've pasted the relevant portion for your convenience:
To uninstall Internet Explorer
The following instructions apply to both Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
Click the Start button , type Programs and Features in the search box, and then click View installed updates in the left pane.
Under Uninstall an update, scroll down to the Microsoft Windows section.
Right-click Windows Internet Explorer 9, click Uninstall, and then, when prompted, click Yes.
Click one of the following:
Restart now (to finish the process of uninstalling Internet Explorer 9, and restore the previous version of Internet Explorer).
Restart later (to wait until you shut down or restart your computer).
After you uninstall Internet Explorer 9, the previously installed version ofInternet Explorer will be available on your computer. It is not necessary to reinstall.
Please leave feedback if this was helpful. Thanks!
