I gave up on Internet Exploder a long time ago.

Way too insecure and more holes than a fisherman's net.

Far better third party browsers out there which are more secure and better featured.

I think this is a more recent IE vulnerability which is due to be patched on 11th April so called 'patch tuesday' :confused:

most of these so called Vulnerabilities never affect 99.9% of us.
its just scare mongering and IE bashing.
have used IE for years without any problems and will continue to do so.
also i don't know anyone that these "Vulnerabilities" HAVE affected.
i have used firefox and didn't like it
