Myself dont like firefox, I didnt worry about it I have my firewall incorporated into IE so I dont worry about it. I posted this because others dont know how to do that and they are at risk. Hope this helps :-(

Never mind IE not conforming to web standards, or the fact that it has limited functionality, whereas Firefox has practically unlimited uses…

Microsoft has just released an emergency patch for your IE browser. This is for all versions from 5 to 8 you need to use your automatic update and get the patch as soon as possible. After installing the patch you should run your cleaning programs and make sure that there is no infections on your PC. It will show up as a Trojan or a browser add on. If you have server program or need more information go to this site and pick the version that you need. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/re...

Hope this helps :-)

Still if IE is installed and you don’t use it, are you still vulnerable?

You WHERE only vunerable if you used it at the time.
