Comments on: Another Internet Explorer flaw found

This is the third time in a month that Microsoft must play catch-up with researchers finding vulnerabilities in its browser.

I E 7.0

May be its time for Microsoft to check and fix the code of IE line by line, and then finally release I E 7.0

Perhaps, but...

Perhaps, but then again, maybe it's time to ditch IE in favor of something better and more secure.

The kicker of it all

IE is the only way you can use the Windows Update function to update a computer. How can we protect our PCs from the vulnerabilities, that Microsoft failed to fix before releasing any versions of Windows, without using a piece of software that is as big of a flaw that could have ever been made? Makes no sense to me. Mozilla is a stable browser and would love to be able to convert completely to it, but yet I can't because I have to use the security flaw proned IE to update my machine. Have been toying with the idea of switching to Linux 100%.

MSN Browser

You can use MSN Browser to update Windows and Office products.

Switching to other browsers not always possible

While experts may be recommending changing browsers, for some of us, it's just not an option. If you're blind, Internet Explorer is the only browser that works well with our speech software. I really wish somebody else would develop a browser and work with manufacturers of assistive technology to make it functional for us. I've had people recommend I drop IE, but I'd pretty much have to drop the Internet.

Linux for the handicapped

Linux has a lot of features to make the software available to the handicapped. I don't know how well they work though.

A client stopped by today with a M$XP computer trashed by virii. I tried to talk him into Linux, but he insisted that he HAD to run a certain game that had not yet been ported to Linux. I guess it runs OK on a M$ virii trashed computer!

Nevertheless, I have installed a dozen Linux Fedora Core 2 distributions over the last week at my Superwhamadyne Cyber Cafe.

Vulnerability Of IE

I'm using Windows XP and I get tons of popups. I switched the Opera and don't even close to as many cookies, spyware, and popups as I did when I had Internet Explorer. I find that most of the time webpages give me popups and misleading virus alerts. I hope that MIcrosoft comes out with a new browser.
