Title: Internet Explorer is compromised.
Post by: Mystress on Apr 30, 2014, 09:37:23 AM

  I know from my site stats, about 60% of my students use IE, so that is the platform I design sites for.

  Hmm this looks quite different in google chrome, the preview is kinda useless.
  OK tearoom needs updates too.
  I need a new pet geek. Ideal volunteers are FST grads.

  There is a security warning out:

  Sure enough, an updated virus scan showed infections, one of them was named as a flash update. Not sure where it came from, I run security software and I don't use torrent sites etc or hacked software, and eudora for email does not open attachments automatically.
   I was watching some online TV some time ago... arrrgh.

  Quite dreading having to change all my passwords.

    Anyway, heads up!
