A few days back, security experts started reporting that an existing vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer had been leveraged in a “Zero Day Exploit”.
What does this mean for you? You could open a specially crafted document and become compromised.
Microsoft has not released a patch as of this moment so they are advising the use of Microsoft Edge for the time being. I personally prefer Google Chrome, however, that’s entirely up to you.
Bottom line – avoid IE, or if you MUST use it, as we do for banking – consider using it only for the site/s that force you to do so and set something else as your “default browser”.
Here’s some more details:
