Microsoft have just released details of their new web browser – Internet Explorer 8. I’m going to give it a go shortly and will report back on its features.
HOWEVER – the link below leads you to a “white paper” issued by Microsoft which I urge all JustChat users to read through carefully.
It give you one of the clearest and most detailed descriptions of internet security risks I’ve seen in a long while.
It explains in simple terms all you need to know about:
‘drive-by downloads’; ‘malware’; ‘spy ware’; and suchlike as well as explaining some of the methods used by ‘Cybercriminals’.These include social engineering attacks; phishing attacks; and they explain the dangers involved with using “free” games, movies, TV shows; and music downloads.
Being aware of the dangers and risks on the internet will go a long way towards keeping you and your family safer.
I’ve just had my windows update tell me that IE8 is ready to download and install. Is it any better than IE7? I’m not sure if I should or not.
