Thread Name: Tech: Grumble.. Windows Internet Explorer 7
Subject: RE: Tech: Grumble.. Windows Internet Explorer 7
Well... what ever keeps the boat afloat... if your happy with a browser and the way it performs then there is no real reason to change it!!!
I have hated IE6 but then I hated IE5 and the increments between. IE6 I particularly hated due to extreme security flaws and the inability to print on paper all the text on a webpage.
In the next few weeks I am hoping to set up a Linux OS based PC to add to my small home network so I can have even more learning curve fun.
Oh... those who use MySpace and sites like it. IE7, Firefox 2 and Opera 9 users are very well protected against phishing sites. Other version browsers (not sure about Safari - not a mac user) should get internet security from Norton, Panda, McAfee or similar with browser phishing plugin capabilities.
Stop the little sods from getting their mitts on your password(s)!!!
I clicked on a friends link in one of their comments the other day... unfortunately they had been using IE6 and had inadvertently done the same to their friends (who also was using IE6) they had been caught in the phishing net so to speak. My Browser IE7 on Vista SCREAMED Phishing webpage which if it hadn't I would not have realised that there was one character wrong in the url!!! the page looked exactly like the real thing otherwise.
My friends had to change their passwords!!!
on another note; Vista had 2 updates yesterday... XP pro SP2 had 10, cant wait for Linux :)!!!
