If you are still using Internet Explorer as your browser, then you should RUN away and go download something else. It's gotten so bad, that even the Department of Homeland Security has issued a warning telling people to avoid using IE. This follows the discovery of more serious security holes that were finally exploited. Holes so bad that you could have trojan software installed, which could steal other entered passwords, just by first visiting a website using the exploit. (This is not a joke or exaggeration) So ditch IE and go try out Firefox, Mozilla, or even Opera. This blog post has been a long time coming, and the DHS announcement just made me decide it was time.
Let's recap: IE is so horrible that several important computer security agencies (CERT, DHS) have said to use other browsers. This has been the case for a long time. So if you are one of my friends still using IE, let me know, and I'll help get you setup with a real browser.
