Security flaw in Internet Explorer
 

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...

I've gotten to where I actually like Chrome.

I'm thinking, rather than back up everything, wouldn't it be about as easy to put in a new hard
drive and put Windows 7 on that? Make the old drive the slave and the new one the master?

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...
