The US Government announced that there is a serious security flaw in the
Internet Explorer browser and has recommended that users switch to
another browser until it is patched.

Apparently IE versions 6 through 11 are affected.

The flaw allows hackers to take over all operations of your computer
including viewing files and getting any sensitive data.

Users of Windows XP are at a high risk because when the patch is
released it will not likely extend to XP.

Personally, I haven't used IE in years. I use Firefox and Chrome.


Microsoft probably wrote the virus, they are trying everything to get
folks off of XP...



Is that what the voices in your head are telling you today, psychoscotty?
