Fun times with Internet Explorer

As you probably heard by now Google and China are in a fight and it looks like Internet Explorer has another security problem. Well not really looks like, it does. Should you drop IE? That's a bit too much but to be safe I would switch till it's fixed. Personally I use FireFox as much as possible. It works with a large majority of sites and security problems are fixed very quickly with no waiting around for that magic patch Tuesday. It's not immune to malware either so don't think it isn't.

In the meantime make sure your anti-virus software is up to date, you are running it right? Plus I'd add in some malware scanning like with malwarebytes for good measure.

Of course some out there don't want to give up IE and that's understandable. Just make sure anti-virus /anti-malware is active and definitely be careful when clicking on unknown links in email.

I'm also aware that this site works well in IE8 and FireFox 3.5 but with IE6/IE7 not so good. I'm working on it. If you're using IE6 you really should update to at least IE7 as IE6 has some bugs they won't be fixing (if memory serves).
