The major press outlets are abuzz this morning with news of a major new security flaw that affects all versions of Internet Explorer from IE5 to the latest beta of IE8. The attack has serious and far-reaching ramifications -- and they're not just theoretical attacks. In fact, the flaw is already in wide use as a tool to steal online game passwords, with some 10,000 websites infected with the code needed to take advantage of the hole in IE.

Virtually all security experts (as well as myself) are counseling users to switch to any other web browser -- none of the others are affected, including Firefox, Chrome, and Opera -- at least for the time being, though Microsoft has stubbornly said it "cannot recommend people switch due to this one flaw." Microsoft adds that it is working on a fix but has offered no ETA on when that might happen. Meanwhile it offers some suggestions for a temporary patch, including setting your Internet security zone settings to "high" and offering some complicated workarounds. (Some reports state, however, that the fixes do not actually work.)

http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/111811 got that from yahoo front page this morning

imagine microsoft saying they "cannot recommend people switch due to this one flaw."   Imagine a robbery inside your bank, and your bank saying, "you can still find your way in and make transactions".  Come inside to do what, as if your bank is the only one out there.

Switch to Mac - Mac is the way forward

Always just update when that nagging and annoying pop-up pops on ur screen. Never Ignore it. Anyway, i'm very much addicted to FF.

I did that switch to Firefox a long time ago.

Hmm, MS IE is doomed!!!!!!!! Did my switch to FF a long time ago. Good luck to IE and its' faithful users.

would have been a breaking news if the news had not been broken. Run away from IE romance Firefox and kind of flirt with google Chrome. If you love having mistresses then do safari or opera.

been using firefox since IE strted to mess up a ong time ago! always crashing

Firefox works better!

i pity microsoft and internet explorer.

unlike you lot, i seem to like safari.

Google Chrome is da Bomb, try chrome,

talking about security, dont even bring chrome in.

It is still pretty new for people to find holes, imagine IE that has been out there for many years

For security and speed- Try either safari or firefox
But i'll advise you to go for the best - SAFARI

I use Firefox and Opera.

I hate IE. Safari is annoying because it hardly connects me to a website but i love the layout. . I unistalled google chrome the same day i installed it.
I am totally in love with Firefox!

I use fire fox and chrome

Amongst the popular browsers, IE is the slowest.
Safari handles AJAX pages (like the new yahoo and the new facebook) much better.
Firefox is also very good.
I only use IE for some pages that are designed with IE in mind. If not, Safari or Firefox.

everything from MS is messed, inclufing their programming languages

been using opera since some chick in a cybercafe pointed me to it - now that is a browser - esp if u are a download freak

firefox 4life

Firefox all the Way.
Followed by Google Chrome.

Try CRAZY BROWSER guys

Safari seduced me while I was in a relationship with firefox, but it didn't last always came back to firefox my true love.
If you are a facebook freak though flock is the browser for you, its got firefox's engine and does many picture and multimedia things, she is totally hot!

changed to firefox, but firefox eats up my memory like crazy

Anyone tried Crazy Browser before?
I just keep them all on standby

Safari definitely is the best of all the browsers I had always dislike IE due to it been to ordinary and FireFox had always been my choice for a long time but for close to a year now I had fell in love with Safari and its been cool I mean what am saying cos here on my system I have it all IE, Safari FireFox and even Google Chrome which I downloaded the same day it was launched so I know what the experience is with them all.

Firefox is the best.
And for the first time Google disappointed me with Chrome.
Looks like I'm gonna try Safari as many folks here seem 2 be recommending it.
As 4 explorer, that's a very wrong browser!

does anyone have any idea about where the go button is in Opera, when i finish typing URLs, fine, it is easy to just hit Enter

but using the mouse to copy and paste URLs make it more easier using the go button, rather than stretching our for the enter button

Which browser is then the best and most secured

Mac Rockzz

T hell wit windows

.

I don't know what Google Chrome yo guys are talking about sha but i have been on Google Chrome for some months now and its the shiznit,Flock is not too bad as well

Internet Explorer is played out like a Sisqo song jor
