Hi,
I don �t know if you �re aware of the security issues related to the use of Internet Explorer, but France and Germany (and probably other governments as well) recommend people to stop using internet explorer until microsoft has found a solution to these security issues.
I �m sure most of you know that, but i still wanted to let you know, and as the saying goes "better be safe than sorry".
have a nice day ;)

Hi!
I �ve been using Firefox since last year, because I had serious problems using IE. Since I started using Firefox, my internet experience has grown a lot because of the cool features, extensions and security add-ons.
One that is particularly useful is the add-on wot. It grades each site you �re visiting or link you receive according to its security: reliable, suspect or dangerous. It �s very good to detect fake sites or links we receive from emails.
Have a nice day!

Hi,
I didn �t want to advertize firefox here, that �s why i didn �t say "use firefox instead of internet explorer", but I agree with you Zailda!
this post was just to tell everyone of the security issues, but thanks for your advice! ;)

@elojolie, neither do I.
I want just to give my testimonial on Firefox use. I also advise my students to use Firefox because it �s faster to visualize blogs and sites with flash content.
I hope they �ll fix the security issues on IE soon because in Brazil it �s the most popular browser and people refrain from trying other than the one they are used to.
