Monrovia, California - Trlokom, Inc., the leading provider of end-pointsecurity solutions, today announced that its
flagship product, SpyWall, blocks the latest
IE CreateTextRange 0-day exploit without using
any signatures.
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in
the way HTML objects handle unexpected method
calls that allows a malicious Web site to install
spyware, Trojans, and other malware on users machine.
The attack can be launched when the user visits
the Web site or clicks on a link received via e-mail.
The exploit does not require any other action
from the user.
Already several hundred websites are using this
vulnerability to install malware on the machines
of users who are lured over to them. A patch to
fix this vulnerability will be available from
Microsoft only after 11th April.
"This exploit underscores how quickly
new vulnerabilities are being exploited and
relying on patches is not the answer because
they may not be available" said Jayant Shukla,
founder and CEO of Trlokom.
"SpyWall gives enterprise users the much needed
ability to defend their laptops and desktops
against these exploits. Switching to a different
browser is not the answer."
