Upgrade your Browser
March 1, 2008 – 9:03 amI’ve recently run into some frustrations with web users. Internet Explorer version 7 has been out now for a long time. Yet only 50% of users out there have upgraded. There are still millions of people using Internet Explorer 6.
Why is this a bad thing you ask? Well, I’m sure you’ve heard the term spyware yes? Spyware is a wonderful little thing who’s blame can be entirely put onto Internet Explorer 6. The security of IE 6 is horrible. You can get spyware installed on your system simply by visiting a web page. You will never even see that it just got installed.
So, unless you are like me and started using Firefox (www.getfirefox.com), upgrade your browser already! Not only is it more secure, it also makes my job a lot easier. (coding for IE 6 is a pain in the ***)
Not sure what version you are using? Simply click Help on the IE menu atop your browser window, then click About Internet Explorer.. It will give you the version number. If it doesn’t say version 7 then you need to upgrade. You can do so here.
