The flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could allow criminals to take control of people's computers and steal their passwords, internet experts say.

Thought i'd give y'all a heads-up on this - i hardly use IE (unless its for de-bugging etc) but never can be too careful

Thanks ^^

I use firefox as my primary browser at work now I still use IE quite a bit at home though just as firefox takes so long to start up

-.- its true FF does take quite some time, mostly cuz of addons. Chrome seems decent and Opera has the fastest startup.

Fx Takes long to boot up? How many add ons do you have? because if you have ALLOT of add ons then it will take a long time. or unless you have a slow computer. or hardly RAM left.

i have 256 RAM, and abt 4 addons, it takes a while XD

I have 1gb ram and 2 add-ons and it loads really quickly.

I have 2gb RAM and no addons, and it takes a few seconds for it to load up for me.

A bit old I know...

I have 2GB Ram, and 89GB of HD, with 11 Add Ons.

and it loads up fast (even before I reformatted my computer)
