Serious Security Flaw in IE

In recent days we have been told that Internet Explorer has a major flaw that allows someone’s computer to be hijacked.  This flaw can be found as early as IE5 and is present in IE8 as well.  It has been said that more than 10,000 sites contain the malicious code.

Revised: The Flaw has been said that it is caused by the way Internet Explorer renders XML.  This is really all the technical information I can find at the moment.  Please comment with further information.

Of course Microsoft won’t tell you to switch to the better browsers of Firefox, Opera, and Safari; but instead they are suggesting complex workarounds.

They mention changing your security zone settings to high, but I tell you SWITCH to Firefox.  Why wouldn’t you?  Firefox is faster, more user-friendly, and more secure.

Maybe this will be the final straw and will take a chunk out of IE6’s browser share.  Hallelujah if it would!!

Cheers to Internet Exploder!
