Bug reports and security warnings have started pouring in just hours after Microsoft released a second public beta of its forthcoming Internet Explorer 7 browser.<\/p>\n
Security researcher Tom Ferris exposed a vulnerability that causes the application to crash or execute arbitrary code when a user visits a specially crafted website. <\/p>\n
A Microsoft employee wrote on the Internet Explorer Blog that this problem is caused by stricter URL-scheme handling in the browser and that the company is working on a fix. <\/p>\n
Other testers reported issues with McAfee’s antivirus software in which users were unable to launch the McAfee Security Center.<\/p>\n
The browser also appears to have problems working together with several anti-spyware applications, according to numerous reports on a Microsoft mailing list. <\/p>\n
The anti-spyware software can prevent a file called ‘msfeeds.dll’ from being registered. A Microsoft employee provided a workaround on the list, but this requires relatively advanced computing skills.<\/p>\n
The browser is also unable to contact several online banking sites. Microsoft attributed this to a browser check which requires Internet Explorer 6 to be built into the online banking application. These issues are unrelated to the browser but require a fix by the bank.<\/p>\n
