Internet Explorer Still Unsafe -- Doh!

For 11 years, since the days of Netscape, I've implored people to quit using Internet Explorer. Using IE to browse the web is the 2nd most popular way a virus gets into your PC (opening a virus eMail attachement is 1st). This has not changed for 3 versions (6, 7 and 8) and countless updates over 11 years. With the most recent IE exploit 'found in the wild,' both Germany and France have joined me in warning people to quit using Internet Explorer to browse the web. My customers who religiously avoid Internet Explorer are far less likely to get a virus infection (100 to 1) than those who use IE. Mozilla Firefox is the browser I recommend -- why not give Firefox a try -- ITS FREE!
