XP and IE

If you are runing Windows XP, you need to stop using Internet Explorer, as in right the fuck now. Switch to Firefox or Chrome or Opera or something else.

As in now, all you motherstabbers and fatherrapers.

Borepatch has the details.

It its long history Internet Exposure (IE) has nothing but security issues.

IF there is consistency in the world the fist thing I tell people is bitchslap that dog into the dumpster. By that I mean DELETE it off the disk and all its ugly relatives and DLLs. Not only will you recover a lot of disk space whatever you use will be more secure and likely much faster.

While your at it get a new OS... right in M$ parlance that means junk a perfectly usable computer.
Or junk the OS.

Eck! said...: After reading the technote its worse...

ITS NOT AN XP PROBLEM! Its IE from version 6 though 11... hint 11 was supplied with win-8!

That means every version of M$ OS
running IE from before XP though the latest new toy has the problem.

Be of good cheer as the technote also says if you change a few settings the problem is not corrected but prevented from happening. In short turn of all the promiscuous features and the problem is short circuited.

Better is of course dump IE.

Since XP the core OS has been fairly decent but the cute wizzies like IE and Outlook and
friends are the Open Barn Door
that MS has been trying to close
for more than a decade.

Feh!

"I hate to go all conspiracy, but ie6 has been a known POS for a decade (although perhaps not for security--certainly for W3C compatibility), now that m$ is getting pushback from a lot of major XP users on their impending termination of support, NOW we find ie6 (and the rest) were horrid all along? Seems too convenient a package to me."
