You've seen the warnings from analysts (heck, even I've chimed in on the subject). You've read about your peers inadvertently downloading Trojans, viruses, worms, and other malware. You've read about the numerous security vulnerabilities, many of which have set to be patched. You've heard about the competing products that offers better performance, more features, and better security. And you've heard how this product is a major part of the fixes in Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), which will ship in a few weeks, but not help the hundreds of millions of Windows users that aren't yet using XP.

Why does anyone use Internet Explorer?

Why does anyone use Internet Explorer? 04/16/2005 04:57 AM
Recently, our church made the switch to a new Web hosting service that offered us a database-driven site that we can keep updated through a Web interface. Strangely enough, the Web interface operates only under Internet Explorer, although it appears to be written in PHP. I've tried using the interface with both Firefox and Konqueror. It sort of works, but I need it to really work, so I'm stuck with IE. (Maybe that's why I'm the church's unofficial Web master.) After working with the world's most popular Web browser, I wonder why so many people put up with it.

RIP Internet Explorer?

RIP Internet Explorer? 07/16/2004 04:49 PM
It's hard to imagine that anyone would continue to use Internet Explorer faced as it is with such massive security issues. If it were a car rather than a browser, it would have been scrapped. But despite very good reasons for moving browsers, people still aren't. Why? There are a multitude of reasons but by far the simplest is that average Joe doesn't know what the hell browser security issues are, or even that the browser is just a piece of software used for accessing the Internet. Thanks to Microsoft's spectacular decision (causing it to fall foul of competition law) to bundle Explorer with Windows, people don't know anything of any other browser. To many people, Explorer is the Internet.

Stop Using Internet Explorer

Stop Using Internet Explorer 07/06/2004 12:02 PM

Stephen Wildstrom (Business Week): Why I'm Staying Away From Internet Explorer. In late June network security experts saw one of their worst fears realized. Attackers exploited a pair of known but unpatched flaws in Microsoft's (MSFT ) Web server and Internet Explorer browser to compromise seemingly safe Web sites. People who browsed the sites using Windows computers -- without downloading anything -- were infected with malicious code. I've been increasingly concerned about IE's endless security problems, and this episode has convinced me that the program is simply too dangerous for routine use.

Do not surf the web using Internet

Seriously. This is not just Open Source zealotry. It is dangerous to your financial security to use Internet Explorer to browse the web. From an article on CNET: Security researchers warned Web surfers on Thursday to be on their guard after uncovering evidence that widespread Web server compromises have turned corporate home pages into points of digital infection. The researchers believe that online organized crime groups are breaking into Web servers, surreptitiously inserting code that takes advantage of two flaws in Internet Explorer that Microsoft has not yet fixed. Those flaws allow the Web server to install a program that takes control of the user's computer.... ... This time, however, the flaws affect every user of Internet Explorer, because Microsoft has not yet released a patch. Moreover, the infectious Web sites are not just those of minor companies inhabiting the backwaters of the Web, but major firms, including some banks ... the malicious program uploaded to a victim's computer is not currently detected as a virus by most antivirus software. With no patch from Microsoft, that leaves Internet Explorer users vulnerable. ... That server uses the pair of Microsoft Internet Explorer vulnerabilities to upload and execute a remote access Trojan horse, RAT, to the victim's PC. The software records the victim's keystrokes and opens a backdoor in the system's security to allow the attacker to access the computer.. There are lots of other good choices for a browser. I am currently using Firefox 0.8, and find it much better than IE, especially after adding the Ad-block and Tabbrowser extensions. Highly recommended. Found via Techdirt....
