Microsoft has confirmed it will provide an out-of-band security update this Friday to fix a zero-day vulnerability in its Internet Explorer browser that had prompted security experts to advise against using the tool.

Yunsun Wee, a director for Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing unit, said in a company blog, that it was releasing a one-click fix now and would follow up with a full IE update, available through its Windows Update feature on Friday.

“We recommend that you install this update as soon as it is available. If you have automatic updates enabled on our PC, you won’t need to take any action – it will automatically be updated on your machine,” she wrote.
