German government warns against using MS Explorer
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.
Microsoft says the security hole can be shut by setting the browser's security zone to "high", although this limits functionality and blocks many websites.
However, German authorities say that even this would not make IE fully safe.
Let's face it, even MS fanbois get quiet when challenged about IE and it's weaknesses. How refreshing that a government will advise its citizens what informed internauts have been advising each other for a while.
