DO NOT INSTALL IE 7!

Posted bydb 4 Comments on DO NOT INSTALL IE 7!

For you Windows users…

Less than 24 hours have passed and there is already a vulnerability in the Internet Explorer code base.

This one is nasty too gang. With IE 7 installed, a website can get access to any site you have visited, using your creditials for that site! Like, your bank, your paypal account, your gmail account or your eBay account. If you don’t log off from those sites and hit a site that exploits this vulnerability you will, essentially, be hosed.

Tell all of your Windows XP users now! DO NOT INSTALL IE 7!

    I make my a good portion of my living on account of Microsoft issues like these , and I am truly thankful that it is so.

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks: 

Here is some inline `code`.
