Low down-HACKERS!

We suscribe to a site that very informative "Kim Kommando' every Saturday we get her newsletter which is loaded with tips, clues, & advice. Like I said very informative;

Here is a paste & copy of last Saturdays tip;

Nik,

Serious security flaw affects every version of Internet Explorer

Microsoft just released a bombshell security announcement. Researchers at security company FireEye have found a flaw in Internet Explorer that could let hackers easily slip a virus on to your computer. And hackers are already using it.

This flaw is present in every version of Internet Explorer - from 6 to 11 - stretching back more than a decade.

You have no defense with the latest Windows systems, either; the program is vulnerable no matter which version of Windows you are running.

The bug is a drive-by hack; all you have to do is visit a site that hackers have hijacked or modified and you're infected.

The really bad news: As I'm writing this, there's no permanent fix and Microsoft is still researching the problem.

I heard about that. It's a shame folks have nothing better to do.

Oh, so frustrating. To think about the security from Microsoft?

Mozilla is a bit frustrating gonna experiment with Google chrome. Just set-up a g-mail account to make it work.

Nik,

Nik,

Google Chrome is the way to go! Been using it at home, at work, and on my cell for a long time now. The great thing is, if you enable sync, all of the tabs you have on every device is available on every other device you want it to be. Cub bookmarks on my home PC? Instantly available on my Cell. Find an interesting Cub site on my phone while I'm out? Pull it up on my home PC. Connectivity is great

Edit: Being a past PC tech, I moved away from Internet Explorer ASAP. That browser is largely a joke in the PC world. Take this cartoon for example; Firefox and Chrome are fighting in a struggle for best browser while IE is sitting in the corner eating glue. Gets me every time

FireFox is not susceptible....Yeah.

I left IE about six years ago.

[ACecil]

I use Google Chrome also. Won't go back to IE.

[cubby102]

Havnt touched ie for about 10 years I bet. Used to use Firefox now I use chrome on the pc and phone

[J-Mech]

I'm a chrome user. Have been for several years now. Never like firefox much.

Firefox used to be really good, mostly before Chrome came around. About that time, Firefox seems to bloat and slow down, even on my home PC and trust me; that PC is not a slouch in the least

It's a shame they have nothing Better to do.
