Yes. I saw the bulletin on the latest IE vulnerability. It is legitimate. But I 
plan to still use Internet Explorer. However, I am always very careful of the 
sites I visit. You should not click on links provided in email unless you are 
sure that they are legitimate.

An easy way to verify links in emails is to put your cursor over the link 
(don't click on it) and see where it actually goes and if it matches the 
description in the email.  I put my cursor over the link in Stormy's email and 
recognized ZDNET.com so I clicked on it to read the story.

Very often, the link will say something like BankofAmerica.com. But if you put 
your cursor on it, it will display a different link in a foreign country. LOOK 
CLOSELY--for the WhiteHouse, .gov is correct, but the .com version is not. 
Also, hackers are sneaky, so look at the LAST name before the 
.com--bankofamerica.xxxxxx .com is NOT legitimate.

It is best practice to have virus and malware software installed on your 
computer and set it to automatically run virus scans on a daily basis. The best 
way to remediate the Microsoft vulnerabilities (which happen all the time) is 
to set Windows Update to automatically patch your computer.

I hope this helps :)

My question is what is the warning about not using Micro soft explorer?
Warning came from Homeland security. Is this real or just a hoax?  I tried to 
download firefox but my computer stopped the down load telling me it had a 
virus. Anyomne else heard anything about this?
