[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 299990, member: 16749"] Nothing new here. Just a new news story recycling old news. It has always been a very bad idea to use IE for general purpose web browsing; a fact that ought to be obvious to anyone who takes a moment to ponder the significance of the fact that the web browser that he may be using to surf all manner of dodgy web sites is the very same one that, via Microsoft's own Windows Update web site has the authority to download and install updates to the operating system. If it's able to download and install legitimate Windows updates from Microsoft, what do you suppose it's able to download and install from less reputable web sites? [/QUOTE]
