Microsoft has warned of three new flaws affecting its software, the most serious of which would allow an attacker to gain full control of a user's PC using a Java applet.  

The three warnings, all issued on Wednesday, involve the Microsoft Virtual Machine for running Java applets on Windows; a cross-site scripting bug in a component of Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0; and a denial-of-service bug affecting Proxy Server 2.0 and ISA Server.
