    Default WARNING Internet Explorer Users!!!!

    Just got this info: I use Firefox myself but I know that's a minority browser.

    Ya'll may want to stop using IE until a patch is released.

    I have to use IE on the work PC, but I use Chrome on the home PC.

    Firefox at home and at work for any recreational usage.

    "Microsoft will be pushing out an unscheduled security patch for Internet Explorer's recently-discovered vulnerability tomorrow, but you can get a temporary patch from British software security firm Prevx today. Tech news site TechRadar reports that simply not using IE won't keep the vulnerability from affecting your PC; an estimated 2 million PCs have already been infected. The vulnerability affects IE 6 and above, including Internet Explorer 8. Chances are most users (not reading this) won't get to the Prevx temporary fix before tomorrow, but if anything make sure Windows' software updates are turned on so you get Microsoft's official fix then."

    You guys are actually less IE dependent than the average bear...

    Stats say:

    IE 52%
    Firefox 36%
    Safari 7%
    Chrome 3%
    Mozilla 1.5%
    Opera 1%
    Others <.2%

    Do better!

    I use the "IE Tab" add-on in Firefox to view web pages that require IE compatibility (like my work web portal).
