Exclamation German Government Warning!

Never seen anything like this before!?

The German government has warned web users to find an alternative browser to Internet Explorer to protect security.

The warning from the Federal Office for Information Security comes after Microsoft admitted IE was the weak link in recent attacks on Google's systems.

BBC News - German government warns against using MS Explorer

Yeah, pleasant - good surfing back in my day ... still good today - I remember when the car park on the front was a boating lake ... back in the late 50's.

The flaw in the browser is very real, behind a hardware based firewall, not so real.

If you use a web browser that is integrated to the main OS, then you are very stupid anyway

...and yet another security flaw in long line of cr@ppy browsers. Why use a browser that's targeted by so many hackers. It's not even that good either!
