Are you still using Internet Explorer?

It looks like the GoogleHack in China was the result of a vulnerability in Internet Explorer.

The German government has decided that the problem is so severe that they're recommending that that you NOT use IE until Microsoft repairs the hole.

Pretty crazy.

German government issues official warning. Do NOT use Internet Explorer until it is fixed.

I don't use it and think its rubbish compared to firefox, the only time i use it is for downloading of ZEDGE because firefox can't handle the downloads properly other than that i don't use IE.

What this about the google hack? not heard of this yet.

The attack that prompted Google to threaten to leave China. Including a BBC link.
