Re: Microsoft issues patch to fix IE
I always try to use Opera. It's faster and more secure. Doesn't work for some sites tho.[IMG]http://n08q1114fvte161.*************.info/img/1228/v08w1128rhlb/smile.gif[/IMG][IMG]http://n08q1114fvte161.*************.info/img/1228/v08w1128rhlb/smile.gif[/IMG]

Re: Microsoft issues patch to fix IE
Anti-virus companies like Norton were telling people to switch browsers to Firefox, Opera etc.

MS said that they don't need to and to put security settings on high in IE but then you loose all the functionality of websites such as Java etc.

Meaning that MS didn't want you to switch to a non-MS browser. No wonder they issued a fast fix.

Too late. Firefox for me now. Faster and hasn't crashed once yet.

Have a look a this

A nice quote from Rick Howard, intelligence director of iDefense.

Quote:
the site of "a major financial institution" that he found hosting the exploit, so don't think you're immune just because you steer clear of porn and warez.
