3 New Serious Internet Explorer Bugs Found
The BBC is reporting that three new serious security bugs in Internet Explorer have been found, two of which will let an attacker take over your computer.
Security firms said specially written websites and hijacked servers were already being used to host the malicious code that uses the loopholes to invade vulnerable machines.
Microsoft will not fix this until April 11th so until that day everyone using Internet Explorer on Windows is vulnerable.
Don’t panic - there is a free alternative! Firefox is a state-of-the-art web browser that will let you surf the net safely.

Yeah, IE’s had hundreds over the years.. and if you’re running NT, 98 or (ugh) Me then you’re never probably going to get it fixed..

I gave up on Internet Explorer nearly two years ago, and have been a proud Mozilla Firefox user since July 2004. My fellow colleagues now use Mozilla, and it has become the first choice browser in most instances.
