US Government warns against Internet Explorer
Following a malware attack last week which targeted a known flaw in IE, like so many other attacks, the US-CERT recommended using alternative browsers thanks to their increased security.
Doesn't look like a good sign for Microsoft. I bet this will cause browsers including Netscape (Windows), Opera (Windows) and Safari (Mac) will be swarmed with hits on their websites for download.
THERE IS NO FIX YET!
Protect yourself by doing the following:
Disable Active scripting and ActiveX controls
Do not follow unsolicited links
Maintain updated anti-virus software
from the US-CERT website
This post is mainly an FYI for all you bloggers out there. I do what I can to help protect your Internet/blogging experience.
