This is all about the campaign to rid the WWW of Internet Explorer 6 that has devastated web developers and held back the evolution of everything that blocks the tubes for far too long. This can not go on any longer!

BECOME A FRIEND AND SUPPORT THE INITIATIVE TO GET RID OF IE6.

Used to absolutely blow my mind how the AV would light up like a christmas tree while surfing with IE on a newly formatted XP install.

I would never, EVER use it for any type of online transaction of any kind. Strictly for the sites FF hates (can’t think of any).

This is shocking.. Can you imagine what can happen if you do financial stuff with explorer. I wouldn’t even think about the financial damage that can be caused with this leak if fallen in the wrong hands. This is definitely something that most be fixed overnight and the path most be updated automaticely without confirmation to be sure nobody would get harmed.

Very painful for Microsoft … again (I hate to say it, but it’s true, again)

Well, it is impractical to ask people to stop using Internet Explorer. That browser accounts for the largest share of users on the planet and bloggers and website designers must test their sites on it to make sure that they see what their users see.

It is more practical to advise people to ramp up their I.E. security settings and avoid questionable sites.

The number of firefox users who actually use noscript are tiny, the number of firefox users who have 3 or more addons are slightly more. And IE as a similar function..

to “darkkosmos”: IE does not have NoScript. Firefox does. NoScript blocks execution of java scripts and flash at unknown sites until you give it the ok.

to “David”: I would uninstall Safari if I were you. Read http://news.softpedia.com/news/Safari-Vulnerable-Apple-to-Issue-Fix-for-One-of-Three-Faults-85785.shtml

Apple has a tendency to first sue the finder of a flaw. Than ignore said flaw. Than announce flaw is fixed after the product is discontinued and another product is put out in its place.

I would recommend trying the KeyScrambler add-on for Internet Explorer. I haven’t tested the vulnerability in IE with KeyScrambler because I already switched to Safari and Firefox, but it is worth a try. The “Personal” version is completely free at:

P.S. Make sure that you turn KeyScrambler off at Live Search Club.

So it affects any browser that allows javascript? Why stop using IE then..

By: Dante

to “Steven”: “bloated”? “featureless”? Please expand on this. This should be interesting.

But, just my opinion, anyone stupid enough to use their OS to log online and expose their OS to the outside world, deserves to be taken for every cent they have. Or do you consider IE not part of the Windows OS?

By: Steven

Yes, stop using IE “for now.” After this vulnerability is resolved you can go back to your featureless, bloated and insecure monstrosity.
