MS Internet Exploder

Sudden catastrophic self-disassembly?

Oh just the run-of-the-mill minor security flaw which requires stupidity on the part of the user to enable it, that's all.

So if people just kept their browser up to date, their software up to date, and didn't visit links that came from unknown sources in their emails they would be safe...? Let me use an analogy: If people looked where they were going, used common sense, and didn't let strangers into their house when they were alone and defenseless they would be okay.

Why you posting AP? It's not like IE is going to cut off your nads if it hears you...

Bwhhahaha.

Solution is to update/patch, use, repeat until the eventual heat death of the universe. It's just one of those computer software things.

Something about the MS IE allows hackers to gain access to your computer. MS has a interim stopgap software fix called EMET Notifier 3.0.0 that you can download from their website for free.

Since I'm running Foxfire I'm not worrying about the hacker issue in regard to IE, which I dumped last year....

You can, or it can suddenly install itself and appear with no warning or explanation like it did on my computer yesterday (and won't go away).

I was wondering what it was (there is no help available when you right click on the icon). Ironic that it doesn't notify you what it is when it is called a notifier.

<grumble>

Guys, i don't know if you noticed...the OP has named it correctly ... "Internet Exploder"

There is no need to go any further i think...i have been a Firefox user forever.

Are you sure, as someone who has been hacked I thought Internet Exploiter was more apt.

Forever?

Dang, I thought that using Explorer since 1995 would be considered "forever" for me since that was its inception.

Before that I used Lynx but I wanted to check out all of that newfangled graphical browsing stuff. Mosaic was the first choice, but IE was easier back then.

November 2004 inception, 8 years of life? I guess that's forever. Netscape went from about 1994 to its 2008 final release.

Fourteen years was longer than "forever"...weird.

Ah, semantics. i thought a bit of hyperbole is part of the beauty of any language....sorry, i shouldn't take liberties with a language not my own. Since i started using computers since 1996, everything was already well past inception. So, my forever.

Yesterday I installed the Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7 (KB2699988) and everytime I open IE9 it stucks and I have to kill it with the end process of Task Manager.

I uninstalled this update and the problem is gone.

I kindly ask Microsoft to re-review this update and fix it.
