If you are still using an older version of Internet Explorer like IE8 or earlier, there is a vulnerability in them which allows remote code execution, if users browse to a malicious website with a compromised browser.

  1. Open an elevated Command Prompt window with administrator credentials.
  2. Type the following command, and then press Enter:

msiexec /i MicrosoftFixit50971.msi /quiet

You can download it from KB2794220.

Upgrading to the latest versions of Internet Explorer is always the better option, you may want to consider.
