    Default Internet Explorer 7

    Apperently i've been told that a security issue has been found on Internet Explorer which allows people to hack your computer.

    Not sure whether it's true or not.

    It is 100% true!

    There is a serious vunerability. In fact it's so serious that Microsoft are advising people to SWITCH TO A DIFFERENT BROWSER!

    MICROSOFT SECURITY ADVICE
    Change IE security settings to high (Look under Tools/Internet Options)
    Switch to a Windows user account with limited rights to change a PC's settings
    With IE7 or 8 on Vista turn on Protected Mode
    Ensure your PC is updated
    Keep anti-virus and anti-spyware software up to date

    Microsoft obviously can't tell their users to use a rival's software, so they say that their experts are tellingu sers to use a rival's software (clearly they are backing this, but cannot publicly say so).
    Kind Regards,
