Comments on: More exploits out for Windows flaws

Users should be shielded from two new attack codes if they use security updates. It's the unpatched flaws that cause worry.

It Never Ends

I'm not going to stand here and defend one OS over another. I really don't care. I use WinXP, Panther, Ubuntu, and Fedora. They all have their issues. But, I have a cool solution for an outdated and not-cared-for internet browser. Use Firefox. www.firefox.com.
I never use IE unless I do Windows Update. If it wasn't for that, and the fact that Microsoft has made it impossible to uninstall, IE would've been removed from my systems a very long time ago.
Now, why is MS not addressing the IE issues is beyond me. And why haven't people switch to any of the many available browsers is the biggest question mark.

Windows Update web page is NOT needed

Just use it from the Control Panel instead -- no need to launch IE to get the latest MS patches!

Here is what they need to do.

They need to fix every flaw including the small ones. Also, who released the exploit to the public? If its Microsoft, they are idiots. If its some other sites, I would quickly shut them down. Also, Microsoft should rethink its thinking. Remotely controlling a computer is a flaw but other flaws have to be fixed no matter what. Being able to install software without nothing popping up etc is a flaw. If you can get spyware etc easier in IE thats a flaw. Security is more important than any extra feature in the software or imporvement in the software.

IE has no security flaws!!!

If you run it under Linux! I run ie5.0 ~ ie6.0
under Linux to test web page rendering differences.
IE even seems a pit peppier under Linux. Probably
because of all the underlying Windows limitations
are removed. Wine has really matured in the last
couple of years.

I dont eat cheese.

"IE has no flaws-- if you run a Linux..." Well, there you go. We dont own/use anything Linux, dear people. Nor do my neighbours. Yet there is a new LAN "Linux" which has overthrown the gov't of my pc. Since I can't run the Linux myself I would imagine it's worked out swell for the Linux user with 600,000+ packets flying out my window and none coming in. Now that's peppier. And purely unwanted and unwarranted.

Next!
