Internet Explorer 7

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!

I can't take you seriously because you have a Habbo avatar.

You can stick with IE if you wan't to, as the exploit can only happen if you visit a bad site. I'd recommend turning javascript off though.

Turning off Javascript is going to a lot of trouble just to use a terrible browser.

There has already been an "emergency" patch that's been distributed via Automatic Update.

I know its a terrible browser, but the people who use it will be safe if they turn it off.

True...though I'd like to know the justification the IE users give for going to all that trouble.

They have said only 1million users have been effected globally.

Experts have said to use other browsers "such as FireFox or Safari".

They have also stated that they are working round the clock to get this resolved.

I guess if users are hacked it's their own fault for using such a bad browser.

When you make a better browser that is popular,THEN you can start dissing the **** to I.E, okay?

Popularity is irrelevant. Users use IE because it comes with their Windows installation and they don't bother switching. Firefox is superior to Internet Explorer. Security wise and speed/rendering wise. I wont make my own browser thanks. I have Firefox .
