Internet Browser - Security Problem/Risk?
Hi, I was reading through the internet and I know I read somewhere that Internet Browser is a security risk and the government issued a warning or something...

Is that true?

I do not think it is a big deal to worry about, as long as you have the latest updates for Windows. Just be careful of what you download, and don't run any suspicious programs.

I always use Firefox, I don't wanna bother with the security holes in IE.

Make sure you have the latest browser updates and do not download any unknown files that you cannot verify.

Use firefox, and keep it updated to the current version to minimize the security risks.

That's what I do, stick with firefox's latest version and you shouldn't have too many security risks.
