Heads up! Problems with IE
Wow, serious problems with Internet Explorer!
“Researchers believe that online organized crime groups are breaking into Web servers and surreptitiously inserting code that takes advantage of two flaws in Internet Explorer that Microsoft has not yet fixed. Those flaws allow the Web server to install a program that takes control of the user’s computer.”
“Users are being told to avoid using Internet Explorer until Microsoft patches a serious security hole in it.”
There’s no patch out to fix this problem yet, so knowledge is the best defense at this point. Read more about the problem at the following sites:

No that does not sound very good at all. I dont use IE at home so I guess I am safe there.

Hrm, elevate to high I bet that’ll make for real friendly browsing. Well I use Opera on my computer but I haven’t seen my computer in a few weeks so a lot of good that does me…

Bryan in our world as computer geeks, our chances are much more real than others because we have so many more computers under our control somehow. And those who think it will never happen to are those that get hit first
So I would be careful.

wonder if anyone got hit by it yet? I haven’t heard too many reports about it.

You know, I haven’t heard much about it either, other than the all the warnings. Either banks and such are covering it up, or nothing serious really happened…
