Internet Explorer security alert

rockford BBC reports a major security flaw in Internet Explorer 7 in an article published this morning.

"The flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could allow criminals to take control of people's computers and steal their passwords, Internet experts say."

The article also suggests that

"Users of the world's most common web browser have been advised to switch to another browser until a serious security flaw has been fixed."

Time for Firefox, my browser of choice.  Here are others: Safari, Opera, Avant Browser, Konqueror, Lynx, Google Chrome, Flock, Arachne, Epiphany, K-Meleon and AOL Explorer, take your pick but don't use IE until it is patched!

With that info,

Safer Surfing!
