Microsoft Internet Explorer & Safe Surfing




Hi Friends,


IE was facing security threats for last 3 weeks and most of the companies suggested use Non –Microsoft browsers.


This is the good time for Anti - Microsoft companies making their products popular.
Everyone knows Hackers always target popular products (IE is used by 95% internet users) and that causes few hurdles for most used products.


Please don’t think that other browsers are safe to use, because of IE problem.
DON’T FOGET THAT IE IS RUNNING ON IT’S NATVIE (WINDOWS) OPERATING SYSTEM. So it’s more powerful and secure than other browsers that are running on only compatible operating systems.


But if you are not using any windows operating system, then you can thing about other browsers.

One funny thing I have observed in Google, they are suggesting us to use their browser (chrome) get more performance for orkut and gmail. I would not prefer to use chrome, because I spent only 2% browsing time on gmail.


If you are using Windows operating system, do the regular windows updates. That keeps your system away from security threats.


Safe surfing with smile :)
