Friends, Family and Customers,

Wanted you to be aware of recent problem found in Internet Explorer
Flaw in Internet Explorer found that allows stealing of passwords – Thousands of websites are already infected with the code to steal passwords
Easiest way to avoid it is to NOT use IE

This link explains it in more detail and makes the same recommendation I do.

Major flaw revealed in Internet Explorer; users urged to switch

If Ive spent any time on your PC I installed Firefox – which is another Internet Browser – Its faster and safer than IE for daily use.
You may find that your bank or your work has websites that work better or require IE but I use Firefox for everything else –
With the recent news quoted above the BEST thing to do is use Firefox

If you don’t have it already, you can get it here
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

It’s an easy install.
At least now you’ve been informed
Microsoft will have a patch out tomorrow – make sure your PC gets the updates ASAP

Thanks.

I just wish our work would let us install Firefox on our laptop computers. I have mozilla on my desktop in my office on the Sun Workstation, but they don't like us using it for anything other than work. :hammer: So if I wanna browse at work I have to use my latptop with IE .:flaming:
