Yahoo: Major flaw revealed in Internet Explorer; users urged to switch
Links: Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari.

ohhh I have Window Vista will my computer be affected?
I don't want to switch. Why? Here are the reasons:

1. My parents won't let me.
2. My parents won't like it.
3. My parents will get mad.
4. I really like Internet Explorer

I didn't know the serious flaw of Internet Explorer, until today I use the Internet Explorer 8 and the Internet chrome from Google, well, I never have problems in the Internet Explorer, but, perhaps in the website from Microsoft there are much kinds of updates as security for your computer, it might helps you in your system operative.

Jessica, your browser (Internet Explorer), not your operating system (Vista, XP, etc.), has the security flaw David is writing about. You can switch browsers rather easily until the flaw has been fixed.

Ahh, Jessica, you have the Windows Vista installed, then you have problems of security law in your browser, you must to check your system operative. I recommend that, because so you avoid that a person enter in your computer.

You can install an alternative browser without changing your operating system (Vista) or removing your current browser (Internet Explorer). It's up to you and your parents. Read the news articles and make an informed decision.

David. You read the legal information of the software that you have installed.

Are you asking me a question? I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to tell me.

Do you read the legal information when you install some software.? Or only you push the accept bottom.

I don't understand what that has to do with this thread, but actually I do make it point to read the EULA for the software I install, unlike many people. :)

ok right now I don't see a flaw in IE. If it comes, what will happen?

Did you read the article? The flaw in IE exists (you already have it). If you visit any web site that has already been infected/compromised, you take the risk of having your password for access to that site stolen.

Yes, you must to check your computer, because if your parents uses the internet explore for check things related with banks, the flaw could to be dangerous, if you know above the bad people with other intentions, they can to extract information as keys or accounts, password extracted of your computer, then I can give you a hint above as you can to be careful with your computer, first you must have an Antivirus, or you must at least an Antispywire installed in your computer, you must check periodically your computer upon virus, look if you check those points, you will see soon, you haven't to worry for your computer.;)

internet explorer gets on my nerves. half the time I'm reading something and my window closes without me even pressing the close button. es muy irritante.

sometimes that happens to me, but it tells me that the window is not responding.
