There have been 2 major security flaws found in the past 24 hours.

This one is more of an annoyance.
http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/windows/0,39020396,39157297,00.htm

But this one is pretty major
http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2004/06/09/new_attack_compromises_fullypatched_ie_browsers.html

You know what... it's pretty sad when your security is bypassed twice in a 1 day period.

I want to meet the guy that said... "Hey, I have a great idea... let's integrate the browser directly into the operating system so users will ALWAYS USE OUR BROWSER."

Great idea genius. You may want to find all these security holes first.

And people wonder why I use Opera and Mozilla!

Just so long as you don't mind all the spam, I think you'll be okay. Although a lot of Aol people that I know of, also use IE...

I like it if it didn't have popups and allowed for multiple browser tabs.

So I like Mozilla betterer now. ^_^

According to a recent study, new computer viruses can directly infect your brain without having to pass by a computer.

Just watch... :\
