NEWS & UPDATES

The critical patch for users of Internet Explorer 8 is officially out in the wild. My computer downloaded and installed it early this morning. If yours hasn't done it yet, you could check your update settings or just choose "Windows Update" and it should show up in the list of downloads on Microsoft's website.

The FBI virus is still infecting computers, and most of the ones we've seen lately were using a free anti-virus program for protection. After paying to get the darn thing off your computer perhaps you'll pony up and pay for better protection.

NSS Labs, a security testing company, ran several Internet browsers through the wringer to determine which one was best at blocking bad things. They tested:

• Chrome
• Apple Safari 5
• Internet Explorer 10
• Firefox 19
• and Opera 12

Who came out the winner? Microsoft's Internet Explorer 10. I find this somewhat humorous because of all the issues we've had with customers having I.E.10 and not being able to access websites previously available, including bank websites.
