From the BBC
Users of the world's most common web browser have been advised to switch to another browser until a serious security flaw has been fixed.
The flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could allow criminals to take control of people's computers and steal their passwords, internet experts say.
Microsoft is investigating the problem and preparing an emergency software patch to resolve it, it says.
Internet Explorer is used by the vast majority of the world's computer users.
"Microsoft is continuing its investigation of public reports of attacks against a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer," said the firm in a security advisory alert about the flaw.
Microsoft says it has detected attacks against version seven of the browser - its most widely used edition.
But the company warned that other versions were also potentially vulnerable.
FLOCK is FireFox based, but much more user friendly.
It actively supports Firefox. It is very easy to learn and interfaces with Bebo, Myspace, Facebook, Photobucket a lot easier than FireFox itself.
If you have used FireFox, give Flock a try. You will like it, if not there is no harm done and it can be removed or ignored. _________________
