IF YOU USE FIREFOX READ THIS NOW!!!!!!!
 
If you are running FireFox 3.6.11 or earlier RIGHT NOW click on Help and then click on Check on updates and update to 3.6.12 IMMEDIATELY!!!

There is a serious security flaw in FireFox that 3.6.12 fixes. Your machine could be taken over completely.

It can... if the virus spreads... you were wide open to it with 3.6.11

And THIS is why IE will always stay #1, unfortunately. It's the slowest, but safest. Surprised Chrome hasn't had any issues like this to be honest :\

now this is how paranoia strikes!

There was just a security flaw detected, and its the monthly update for Firefox/Mozilla! I live this shit everyday, so its no surprise to me. I would love to actually see one of these attacks take place and see what or how it effects the end user.

Whats really wild is this flaw was detected by a 12yr old kid and Mozilla paid out $3k to him for finding it.

That's not the same security flaw. It said that one was fixed with 3.6.11 and this security flaw is still there in 3.6.11, you have to update to 3.6.12

sorry to burst your bubble, but Chrome is safe...and it's several times quicker than IE. also, IE, being safe? LOL. like using a Colander for an umbrella.

No bubble bursting here, I use Chrome lol. I hate IE, but I won't ignore the fact that it is #1 in security, and always will be.

if your connected to the internet...your not safe ever!

Cant wait to try IE9 though, it looks really sleek!

lynx FTMFW! Who needs graphical browsing, that's for pussies. No updates because there's no security to update.
