Default 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'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...

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