Earlier in the week a series of warnings about the web browser Internet Explorer was issued by several governments, including the Australian federal government. This issue isn’t a hoax, it’s a genuine concern.

That big “e” application that you use to access the web has a number of security flaws that are starting to be widely exploited. This means when you use an Internet Explorer browser you are in real danger of having your secure information compromised. So maybe this is a good time to stop using Internet Explorer and consider the alternatives.
