I am surprised nothing has been mentioned on this Forum regarding the current IE problem. Perhaps everyone knows about it or each is using a browser other than IE? Or maybe I missed seeing the post.

At any rate, my neighbor (who has Windows 7, IE 10) didn't know -- and ended up with 3 viruses, so far. Thought I'd post this in case others have missed this information. See this site:

CORRECTION. Link did not paste correctly in previous post. Use copy and paste to get the entire URL, rather than clicking on the link in the post.

Or you might look at this site with similar information:

Personally I think everyone should have two browser just in case something like this comes up,or it sometimes happens that for some reason a browser quits working.If you don't have a second browser your stuck with no way to remedy the situation.A second browser uses very little space on a hard drive,and no cpu if not in use.there is not much to learn if you only use it for a back up.
Save yourself some grief.Get a second browser.

My primary browser is Opera but I also have Firefox and, of course, IE. I also find that some browsers are better for some things and other browser for others.
