G-CPTN,
(I won't repeat what Tim00 says .... people who use Windows daily as admin user are just asking for trouble)
1/ I would happily recommend Firefox (or almost anything !) over Internet Exploder any day !
2/ Let's brush past the journalistic hype ... as long as software is written by humans, there will always be the possibility for bugs (bugs being an instance in which the software does not behave as expected, and in certain circumstances, these "bugs" can be exploited by cunning evil doers). What next, are you going to switch to Linux or Mac when yet another Microsoft security flaw is discovered ?
The moral of the story is to practice safe computing ... see Tim00 above PLUS .... make sure your software is regularly kept up to date .....patching up once a month or once a year is not enough !
Therefore .....to other readers of this thread, I would suggest.... "please move along, nothing to see here".
