World governments warning users not to use Internet Explorer 
France, Germany, and now other countries, warning users not to use Internet Explorer. This comes after code used to attack Google was posted online. You should immediately get Firefox, Google Chrome or some other internet browser.
Other countries have echoed calls by the French and German governments for web users to find an alternative to Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) to protect security. Certa, a government agency that oversees cyber threats, warned against using all versions of Internet Explorer. Microsoft still claims the "risk is minimal" and to have the "most secure browser on the market" and people should upgrade. However, Microsoft says that if you should visit a compromised website, your PC could become infected with a "trojan horse", allowing a hacker to take control of your computer and potentially steal sensitive information. "Microsoft themselves admit there is a vulnerability, even in IE8," said Graham Cluley of security firm Sophos. Mr. Cluley warned web users to be careful about clicking on links in unsolicited e-mails and advised all web users to upgrade their browser to the latest version, no matter which software they use. Recent attacks caused Google to announce that it might withdraw from China, after it revealed that the attacks had probably originated in the country. Some web-based applications may not work at all if you're not using Internet Explorer. So it doesn't hurt to have IE in your computer, just don't use it unless you have to. Microsoft is currently working on a patch for the problem, but a spokesperson said it could not commit to a timeframe. The firm traditionally releases a security update once a month - the next scheduled patch will be ready on 9 February.  Follow us on Call or email us today and let GSX help your business to grow.
