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.

I've gotten to where I actually like Chrome.

What does Chrome do?


tracks everything you do and sends you pop ups Tries to sync with your
phone to mix your facebook and personal phone contacts with your gmail
and others so you have 740 contacts instead of 215 that you need...

Sounds like Google is just trying to help keep you organized. Snerk!
