![]() 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... |

What does Chrome do? tracks everything you do and sends you pop ups ![]() 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... |

Perhaps if you had an IQ with three numbers in it, you'd be able to figure out how to set up chrome. |
