Internet Explorer Critical Risk - 07-09-2004, 07:32 PM
Microsoft teams have confirmed a report of a security issue known as Download.Ject affecting customers using Microsoft Internet Explorer, a component of Microsoft Windows.

Generally this means that Internet Explorer vulnerability may allow installation of malicious programs
Means of transmission: Compromised Web sites use Active X flaw to install programs

Just follow instructions here:

Glad you said that
I tried so many browsers:
IE,Netscape,Opera,Avant,MyIE2,Mozilla and some i can't even remember the name of and Firefox was the only one i saw fit to all my needs and works really fast too.
