Another reason to run Mozilla

Tue Sep 9 10:01:54 GMT 2003 Another reason to run Mozilla

Microsoft has been dope-slapped yet again: a flaw they thought they fixed is still exploitable, and it's another serious one: Hackers jump through holes in Microsoft patch.

It's bad enough that people don't keep up with Microsoft patches, but even worse when the supposed fix still leaves you open.

This is another IE bug, one that starts with mail but ends up infecting and affecting your browser. Microsoft says they don't know of any actual exploit, but apparently other people say they are all wet.

What to do? Well, isn't it obvious? Get rid of that Microsoft junk once and for all. Download the latest Mozilla and stop the nonsense. Not that there will never be a Mozilla bug or security exploit, but there will be far, far less and they will get fixed faster.

It's time. It's way past time. Do it now.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
