If anyone is still using it maybe it's time to change. :-\


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.

Hi Matthew,

thanks for letting us know.
Internet Explorer surprised me yesterday with interesting message, see attachement.
Maybe it is Java Script related :)

The message about IE problem was on the main TV news here yesterday, I think MS is not happy from such a "advertisement".
I thought remote code execution is not so rare in browsers it is worth TV spot...

The new Beta version of IE isn't much better too. :P

I'm still using Google Chrome, it may not be perfect but I think it's safer than using IE.

There is an update to the IE8 Beta today but I dont see MS making a big noise about it.

Strange how my IE8 wants to debug any page with Java on it :D
