There has been a reported major security problem in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser. This major breach is said to be a major problem because it could lead to an attempt to steal your personal identity as well as passwords which we all know could mean big problem both financially and web-based.
This is a major problem to consider and because of this, experts say that people using IE is strongly advised to take actions to transfer using another browser in the meantime until the problem is closed and cured totally.
For those who are still interested to go on using Internet Explorer, "it is also strongly advised by Microsoft to make some changes to the browser settings by looking into the Tools - Internet Options tab and then switching your browser settings security settings to a windows user account with limited rights to change a PC's settings".
With IE 7 or 8 on Vista, turn the protected mode and also take actions to make sure that your computer is fully loaded with protection using the latest and updated anti-virus and spyware software.

It's kind of hard to believe that are advising someone to switch to another browser. Could you please give me a quote or link to Microsoft that says this?
Hello Dan.
If you just read this post, you will find out the quote "This is a major problem to consider and because of this, experts say that people using IE is strongly advised to take actions to transfer using another browser in the meantime until the problem is closed and cured totally."
You can also read the link I gave here for more information. I also made a clear statement that it was an advice by experts, just as I read in the BBC News site in my link inside this post.
I hope this clears it that I did not say it was Microsoft who is advising people to shift browsers but it is the experts out there.
Another reason to move to Firefox. Let the shift to Firefox 3.0 continue!
Stop using explorer and start using mozilla
You are absolutely right. Keep moving to Mozilla Firefox. It's very fast and secured when compared to IE. Thank you for sharing this.
