Internet Explorer Alert

Internet Explorer security alert
Users of the world's most common web browser have been advised to switch to another browser until a serious security flaw has been fixed.
The flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could allow criminals to take control of people's computers and steal their passwords, internet experts say.
Microsoft is investigating the problem and preparing an emergency software patch to resolve it, it says.
Internet Explorer is used by the vast majority of the world's computer users.
"Microsoft is continuing its investigation of public reports of attacks against a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer," said the firm in a security advisory alert about the flaw.
Microsoft says it has detected attacks against version seven of the browser - its most widely used edition.
But the company warned that other versions were also potentially vulnerable.

Story from BBC NEWS:

Agreed. Firefox is even better than safari.

I don't know why people even use IE anymore, it's shit

 

[Peter Parka]

Tell me about it. Whenever I go round my mums, she will not let me install firefox for her. I tell her - Mum, its safer, faster, better, theres nothing new you need to learn and she still wont have it! Drives me round the fucking bend!:willy_nilly:

I told my mom/dad I wouldn't use their computer till they got Firefox. And I love how Microsoft always says "the most widely used version." Of course it is, it's the version they shove down everyone's throat.

 

[Obdurate]

I use both but I'm not against IE like the people in this thread seem to be. That's aight, though, I'll start using Firefox more because of this warning. PACE.
