Read the last part of that article. It is completely accurate (though I use ff, myself).

Firefox is a community project, thus most flaws are reported, patched, and included in a minor version/nightly build within a few days.
still, it's better to keep your comp in a stable state![]()
I'd rather download and install firefox than live in a constant fear of getting a trojan or some crap off a site just by visiting it.
“Problems like this are found all the time but Microsoft always has a fix. What’s new about this situation is that there is no fix."
That wouldn't really make me feel any better about the situation. IE sucks anyway, only noobs that don't know about the better options use it.
Don't blame the virus, your life started going wrong from the moment you bought a Windows...
Wasn't there already a thread about this? Just wondering because this is pretty old news. I heard about it about a week ago.
was there an update earlier that fixed it? i got an update![]()
Wouldn't say so, I think hackers like to do viruses and stuff for more... "Commercial things", e.g people who are new with computers, or just basic users, use internet explorer and as they are so new, they also get easily fooled.And believe it or not, Firefox isn't that better off than IE. It's just that IE's problems are more widely publicized and visible.
It's all LIES!
Get Opera and increase your penis size by 72"![]()
Commendable that they tell everyone, IMO.
But anyways.
Muahaha! Mixster would love thatThe websites corrupted by the hackers are mostly Chinese, and have been programmed to steal passwords for computer games which can be sold for money on the black market.![]()
Heh, this was on Warez-BB too, but pretty much everyone there used Firefox anyway. Kinda weird for it to steal game accounts though.
Also, Firefox can't be crashed by sites like this one (warning: crashes IE just like I said, but people never read the whole sentance..).
Also, there's no real point to developing exploits for open-source browsers, someone'll just figure out what it's doing and fix it. Then Firefox goes "Onoes! You can has security update!" and then everyone has the security update when they bother to restart it.
Lots of people I know have the Windows automatic updates turned off because they restart your computer when you go afk for 5 minutes![]()
Things like this wouldn't happen if Microsoft didn't build IE so deep into their OS. For instance, Macs Safari is a separate application, and most Linux distro's come with firefox installed but not embedded into the OS. What Microsoft did just invited hackers to exploit the ever present vulnerabilities that Microsoft left.
i reccomend switching to google chrome for those ie users (Y)
Well, I havn't recieved any yet, probably got Nortan Internet Security to thank
DO N0T SWITCH TO GOOGLE CHROME IF YOU AUTO.
It doesn't work like IE and/or Firefox.
Trust me on this, I know.
By reading this signature you agree that mixster is superior to you in each and every way except the bad ways but including the really bad ways.
Because You Have Insoficiant posts To Download.
:O
I never really liked I.E
I use google chrome, a lot of people hate it, but i like its simplicity
To anyone who uses Google Chrome:
Have fun autoing. It's hell.
Switch to Fx or Opera, and increase your penis size.
I hate FF to be honest. I had it for like 1 week, and went back to IE 8.0, I cant stand FF, you cant even download things by clicking 'Run' you have to save it and it sucks well bad, when you DL shit as much as I do.
I just stick with IE.
EDIT: 1k! XD
