Comments on: Microsoft rushes out critical IE fix

Departing from schedule, the company patches a month-old security hole in the browser software that had spawned attacks.

Yet another fix for IE..

...and as usual Microsoft takes over a MONTH to release a fix for it.

$8 billion dollar R&D budget and it still takes a month? And Microsoft claims that their browser is "just as secure as the other browsers".

Ditch IE - it's a sinking ship. Any other browser will give you far better protection (namely Firefox or Opera).

P.S. Maxthon, Avant and Slimbrowser all use IE to render their pages so they too are affected.

IE is Ditched!!!

So is OE and Active X.

But then, they've been ditched for years.

Its getting worse every day

Virus,security threats and spyware are getting worse and worse every day...Before I was getting calls on weekly base now I get calls on DAILY base to clean up computers and I am not even trying to reach all people...Most computers require complete Windows Reinstall and update in order to function again,patching and scaning is too late with computer alredu infected and messed up.
And Microsoft dares to talk how safe and secure Windows and IE is.
