The Federal Government has ramped up warnings about Microsoft's web browser Internet Explorer, which has come under attack from hackers.

The Government is warning that people risk having their computers infiltrated and passwords stolen unless they install temporary fixes from Microsoft or use alternative browsers.

The Government says Microsoft has acknowledged all recent versions of the program are vulnerable.

The French and German governments have warned internet users in Europe to avoid Microsoft's popular web browser.




Seriously, how many times have I said it?

Seconding this, and also adding that I refuse to touch any Microsoft products. I even replaced my MS keyboard with an old Dell QuietKey (the most misnamed keyboard on earth).

Seriously, there's no good reason to use web browsers that just break everything all the time! This is also why I don't use Firefox. :P
