(Mods not sure where this should be Posted)
Hey guys not sure if this is real or what, could be some bad shit out there,
I have always gone with IE for my browser, but I did change to Firefox till I hear something.... (couple weeks ago I had to have my Lap Top Hard drive cleared, and I mean striped what a pain in the ass that is, Lost everything. Big Brother Internet security for the Gov. Called Me and my computer was being contacted by Russia and China) I hate to see anyone else have to deal with this shit.....(I'm not kidding, this guy from the DC office called me, I was thinking to myself , OMG he is watching me watch porn) heheheheheh Be safe out there .......

I do know that yesterday ALL of USDA Forest Service computers have be banned from the use of IE until feather notice....


Here is a Email from a friend

Saw this on the “news” and asked my brother in law (computers are his business) – read below what he has to say.

Subject: RE: What's this?

Yes - it's a concern - and if it were me, I would switch to a different browser for a
while, until Microsoft gets this one fixed. I've been using FireFox for over a year now,
and have found it to be rock solid, easy to use, and secure... You can download
a copy of it from here: http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

I've gotten a ton of email on this today - apparently, everyone is watching the news
pretty closely today...

Like I said Not sure if this is true, Good luck out there, and look out for Russia and China (There porn sites are not that good) .....:frown:

I couldn't agree more.

I honestly can't believe people PURPOSELY choose to use IE when there are so many other better browsers available....FOR FREE.

As a graphic designer, I'm painfully aware how awful of a job IE does in rendering web pages correctly. Every time I build a web page and test it in all the different browers, it always looks good in everything EXCEPT for IE, which just butchers my work.

I must say i like what I see and feel on Firefox now............

Firefox is good, but on my PC I use Google Chrome.

 

[AZsteelman]

I'm in favor of Firefox as well, but did download Chrome a while back...I'm just giving it a try every once in a while...

Install the AdBlock Pro add-on....and 99% of the ads on the 'Net will just magically disappear!
