Alert for Internet Explorer (IE) users:

Submitted by admin on December 16, 2008 - 7:10pm

This one's not a hoax - here's Microsoft's confirmation: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/961051.mspx

If you use Microsoft - GET FIREFOX  : http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

All versions of IE have a major exploit (called zero day)
 --> never mind what MS says  - this is a very serious hole - find more info on seach Google:   internet explorer zero day

Unlike most exploits, this one is very dangerous because you don't have to click on anything to get attacked - you only need to view an infected web page for hackers to gain access to your online identity (usernames, passwords, account numbers, ....)

My advice: Don't bother patching IE, get Firefox and delete that E shortcut from your desktop forever!
