| | the article actually states that it is IE6 being hit, but IE8 is potentially vulnerable, i dont think IE8 users need to worry TOO much valtonray, i wasnt saying that there is noone running IE6, i was merely stating that it is hardly "best practice" to use a browser that is (im COmputer terms) back in the bronze age |

| | Hi all I was actually surprised that IE6 will work in Windows 7 -- I'm sure it doesn't -- but I got my Windows 7 before the EU kufuffle over "Browser Choice". I think most Windows 7 installations out there still have IE8 installed by default even if people use other browsers. I misread the original BBC article since I thought it DID refer to IE8 -- must have been mistaken. Cheers jimbo |

| | no, i was just stating that while the vast majority have moved on there are still for all accounts and purposes archaic machines in everyday use. im sure you could get ie6 to run on 7 but the real question is why would you want to. there are much easier ways to infect your computer. |

| | Most flaws in IE7/8 for Windows Vista/7 are rendered ineffective if UAC is left enabled.  |
