Yet Another Reason to Dump IE

Gleaned from Yahoo, here is yet another reason to dump Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. That’s right, you can get infected with bad things SIMPLY BY OPENING AN INFECTED WEB PAGE! You don’t have to double-click an attachment, you don’t have to do something really stupid, you don’t have to click “Yes” to a popup window asking to install something. It just happens in the background without your knowledge. In fact, it is a “feature” of IE that all scripts run in the local internet zone - clearly a design decision that is not too intelligent. I have said it before on this site many times: get rid of IE and go with Mozilla or Firefox. I use Mozilla.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time. It's like trying to take a picture with the lens cap on.
