Internet Explorer Is Too Dangerous to Keep Using
Because Internet Explorer, like Outlook, has finally become, to my mind, a permanent security hole that masquerades as a useful application. Strong words? Have you really thought about this latest exploit? It could hit every Internet Explorer (IE) browser that merely visited any page served by an infected Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Server). No anti-virus program would stop it, no firewall would slow it down and no shipping IE security patch would even notice it. Visit the page, get the infection. It was that simple....Read More at EWeek
