World Warns Use of Internet Explorer (IE)
« on: December 16, 2008, 02:15:59 PM »
Users of the world's most common web browser have been advised to switch to another browser until a serious security flaw has been fixed.

The flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could allow criminals to take control of people's computers and steal their passwords, internet experts say.

Microsoft is investigating the problem and preparing an emergency software patch to resolve it, it says.

Internet Explorer is used by the vast majority of the world's computer users.

"Microsoft is continuing its investigation of public reports of attacks against a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer," said the firm in a security advisory alert about the flaw.

Microsoft says it has detected attacks against version seven of the browser - its most widely used edition.

But the company warned that other versions were also potentially vulnerable.

if those computer criminals spend their time hacking your password, that means you're something worth of their time because they don't usually attack common people.

does Java and Dynamic HTML still work the same with Google Chrome as IE 7?

all internet browsers are backwards compatible and compatible to other dependent apps just like what firefox and opera does. google chrome is still in the works and it's in the beta stage. too many bugs and glitches found that's why it's not going to be available in early 2009.

it should come out in the future. but they still have to fix the bugs and glitches to make it more appealling to the masses the same way people embraced opera and firefox.
