Stop using IE6, IE7 NOW, warns Microsoft.

Quote:
Microsoft has dropped its softly-softly approach to IE upgrades, warning people to stop using Internet Explorer 6 and 7 immediately due to security risks.

The software giant today issued an advisory warning companies and individuals to upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 as soon as possible to protect themselves from the vulnerability that allowed Chinese hackers to infiltrate and steal software source code from some of the world's largest software companies, including Google and Adobe.
