Internet Explorer? Not a good idea...

The German government has actually gone to the lengths of warning people not to use IE - and to suggest the use of an alternative instead.

Wow!

There are major holes (again...) in all versions of IE from 6 onwards. Yes, you can block them partly on a temporary basis, but setting security to high tends to me

The German government has warned web users to find an alternative browser to Internet Explorer to protect security.

The warning from the Federal Office for Information Security comes after Microsoft admitted IE was the weak link in recent attacks on Google's systems.ss up your ability to browse websites.

You might want to consider Opera, Google Chrome, Safari or Firefox. The thing is, they're better anyways...

e2a: 18/1/10 - looks like France has issued the same sort of warning now
