I didn’t presume to put this in Breaking News, but you might consider it, given the seriousness of the warning from CERT. This could represent a cyber-attack on our defenses. I think CERT knows more than they are saying.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find IE’s interface a bit obscure compared to Firefox or Chrome?

Guess will take this attack and wait for the next attack. Even though is not all right. Sometimes one has to be strong. One day is just one day.

Can choose which one?

I haven’t used Internet Explorer as my default browser in years. My default browser is Google Chrome (now at Version 34.0).

In a rare move that highlights the severity of the security hole in one of the Web's most popular browsers

'Thought it was a parody piece .....

Seriously, Pale Moon fits the bill just fine, w/o the political baggage.

stop using Internet Explorer until Microsoft can fix it

IE has been a virus magnet for years. You could stop have the malware out there just by getting rid of IE and Outlook

Not if you people IE years ago when it was realized to be a piece of garbage.
