Title: Major Internet Explorer Flaw
Post by: Localonthe8s on December 16, 2008, 05:51:00 PM

IE is vulnerable from a security flaw. Criminals and hackers could take over people's computers and hack into their PC by stealing passwords. It mainly works from Gaming sites and those that are Chinese. Microsoft urged their IE users to use another Browser like Firefox or SeaMonkey until the flaw has been fixed. Nice job Microsoft, yet another reason to avoid IE. (Besides frequent crashing and slow speeds) :rolleyes:

This is nothing new. Internet Explorer has always had the worst security of all the Internet browsers.

I know this has been reported in the past but this case seems serious to me, or its just me.

It's just you. No different than any of the million and one other security flaws they've found in IE over the years.

I don't like SeaMonkey. If you don't like IE or Firefox use Opera. You'll have a much better experience.
