Finjan also operates a Malicious Code Research Center (MCRC) in which it details its research into dealing with computer security.
Recently, the company discovered a flaw in the next version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer which could allow hackers to gain control of a users computer using Internet Explorer.
"This discovery is an excellent example of the shared efforts and close cooperation between Finjan’s Malicious Code Research Center (MCRC) and Microsoft with the goal of securing users from potential malicious attacks," said Yuval Ben-Itzhak, chief technology officer of Finjan.
