Three days, three security vulnerabilities found in Internet Explorer. It was really not a good week for IE users last week. And then Microsoft started to hint that they might not come out with a fix before mid april. Which will let those who want to exploit this get time to do so.
And so they did , and then again . So what to do now? Start using a new browser? Stop browsing the interenet? Or hope that someone else can help? Well the latter might be the save this time. A security company called eEye have released a patch that will temporary fix the most dangerous vulnerabilitie found last week in IE. But can you trust the help? Microsoft have never seen the code, you have not seen the code, so why should you trust them? Well, I`ll let that be up to you to choose, but in my case, I`ll just keep on using Firefox for now.
Yet again the the Linux communiteis and now also the growing Mac communities hope that these incidents will help people understand that Windows and Internet Explorer is not the only way to go. And since now Vista will be delayed which will also mean that Office and many other packages and applications will be delayed, they might get more help than expected. But again, only time will show.
