THE US GOVERNMENT has sent out a warning out to internet users through its Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), pleading users to stop using Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
Following a malware attack last week which targeted a known flaw in IE, like so many other attacks, the US-CERT recommended using alternative browsers thanks to their increased security. Microsoft is hurriedly trying to increase IE's security with the Windows XP Service Pack 2, but it's not fast enough for many.

In a vulnerability note released by US-CERT, it says "there are a number of significant vulnerabilities in technologies relating to the IE domain" and that "it is possible to reduce exposure to these vulnerabilities by using a different web browser." Well, they're right.

The latest "extremely critical" IE bug has still not been patched by Microsoft. µ

This guy must have a lot of stock in AOL.

You can use a ton of browsers available.

Mozilla, Netscape, Opera, and there are more available just can't think of them all right now.

I'm not a n00b, Mr. May 2001 h:

 

Did I say n00b to the site? No I don't think so but rather n00b to alternative browsers that work much better and are more secure than IE ever will be

 

No you didn't.

It was just the best I could do. h:

I just run IE with ActiveX disabled :dunno: Run Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D once a week. No problems here.
