Title: Homeland Security: Don't use Iternet Explorer due to bug
Post by: pmull on April 30, 2014, 08:22:06 AM
This is not a joke. I changed from IE to Google Chrome a while back and like it much better and it is faster.

The U.S. Department of Homeland security is advising Americans not to use the Internet Explorer Web browser until a fix is found for a serious security flaw that came to light over the weekend.

The bug was announced on Saturday by FireEye Research Labs, an Internet security software company based in Milpitas, Calif.

"We are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem," Will Dormann at the CERT division of the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, wrote on Monday.

It recommended that users and administrators "consider employing an alternative Web browser until an official update is available."

Yeah, I saw this yesterday. Google Chrome is much better.

I hate IE anyway. Chrome is better.

BTW, Microsoft released a security fix for this issue available for download on 1 May.  I'm forced into using IE at work.

There is a definite difference between IE and Goggle Chrome and it's a good difference I must say. :clap:

If you like that, you should really give Google Chrome a try, Jamos.  Those knock off Goggle products are pretty good, but not quite the real McCoy!   :P
