Seriously…quit using IE

So…
Here’s some info on a serious security problem with Internet Explorer. Here’s an excerpt:
“Guninski informed Microsoft in April 2001. The fact that the issue has been born afresh suggests rather heavily that the software giant has no way of preventing this from happening.
So how bad could it get? Just off the top of our heads — suppose someone set up a fake Hutton Inquiry site today with a link to the report’s summaries — how many people across the U.K. would download a worm this afternoon? And imagine the computers it would end up on.
The possibilities are endless, and since both spoof issues appear to be unfixable, it must surely place a big question mark over Explorer’s viability as a browser. “
You need a new (better) browser.
