WARNING for Internet Explorer users
(Copied from Announcements Forum)
This is a warning to all Internet Explorer Users.
The following is small snippet from an article by Chris Crum at Security Pro News.
Below the snippet is a link to the full article.
Internet Explorer has numerous problems, but one of the worst is the current weakness in its security.
Hackers are taking advantage of this weakness and are creating new attacks that can put malware and viruses on your computer with just one accidental click of your mouse.
Malware can slow your computer down, cause popups and use up your storage space. It can also be hard to identify and remove. In some cases, you might not notice the malware, which might not seem so bad until you realize the hackers have used it to steal your identity and access your email, social networks and other important websites.
So what can you do to protect yourself from this type of malware?
According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the best thing to do is stop using Internet Explorer completely, at least until the bug has been fixed. You can also disable your Adobe Flash plugin to prevent the malware from automatically downloading.
Microsoft is working to fix the problem but is not sure how long it could take.

If you are a IE user I would take this very seriously for now, at least until there is a fix for the security problems. Firefox, Chrome and Opera are all good alternatives for windows users.Cheers - Neil

Ok, so i got the kid next door to come in and showed him this thread.
He started to laugh and i asked him what was funny.
He said well he doesn't know either so that makes three of us.
He's wise beyond his years i think. lolCheers Fred
