If you are using IE stop immediately and switch to another browser such as Firefox. There apparently is a HUGE hole in IE's security and Microsoft is currently trying to hurry and release an emergency security patch. Do not accept patches from any other site other than Microsoft. This is some serious stuff dudes. Sticky Immediately!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I know about this...it's pretty serious. Of course let's hope it isn't some kind of hoax to scare people. But IE is bad anyway and I think everyone should switch to Firefox. Some people are gonna be stubborn though and not even budge, since they swear by IE...*looks at Akeme*. Seriously, people need to stop using that crappy browser and this is even a better reason to quit using it. I doubt Microsoft is gonna bother to really fix it, they should have already known about this..and I think they did, but just didn't care. IE has always been a security risk and always will be, don't trust Microsoft.

It's mostly Firefox 3 that's crashing like crazy, it's got serious issues..I downgraded to FF2, faster and more stable.

It crashes on me constantly, I couldn't use it anymore..I had to downgrade. FF2 lets me return to where I was, FF3 would only do that sometimes...it was just a mess and just unusable for me. It still seems like it is in beta to me.

Rage · « **Reply #8 on:** December 17, 2008, 03:19:06 AM »

from what i know it is beta though resently I havent seen the Beta in the updates

Darkgargos · « **Reply #9 on:** December 17, 2008, 03:24:29 AM »

Maybe FF3 just doesn't like me

I think it was released too soon, it needs serious work before it's stable enough to be usable by everyone. It doesn't say beta, but I'm sure it still is. Until they fix it and get it working right I'm sticking to FF2.

Rage · « **Reply #10 on:** December 17, 2008, 03:30:58 AM »

Well i say this it good at some things and Internet explore is good at others. I usally dule the the two. EX for sufing and downloading and Fox for Video's and sum downloading.

Well im off to bed Peace

I swore by IE for the longest time until it just stopped accepting cookies so I couldnt log into anything. So now, I use Firefox by necessity. AND NO, IF YOU SAY OPERA OR SAFARI, I WILL PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE. You can come see me after the show. I'll be the guy punching faces.

So yeah, sucks about IE, but i'm safe, so, meh.

hahaha DG i got him to convert last night after telling him about IE. He was mad

....u had to have heard him...it was too funny. Anyways well i guess since everyone knows about this do i still need to find that clipping? But remember guys dont go accepting patches from any other site than microsoft. I came across one site that offered the patch earlier so theres scams already on the web just waiting for someone to click.

hahaha, yeah I talked to him about it too....he cursed Firefox

He just hates that browser, I've tried so many times to convert him even before this happened..he was just so stubborn about it. He's taking it like it's punishment...it's funny.

Gaijin · « **Reply #22 on:** December 17, 2008, 01:26:47 PM »

Darkgargos · « **Reply #23 on:** December 17, 2008, 01:46:37 PM »

Hahaha, more like a big baby. He'll get over it and who knows maybe he'll grow to like it.....when he stops cursing it that is

Gaijin · « **Reply #24 on:** December 17, 2008, 01:48:49 PM »
