Another IE 7 pop-up security flaw discovered | CNET News.com

Another flaw found in the newly released Microsoft Internet Explorer 7. Don’t you just love how the general public has unwittingly become beta testers.

I’d love to run into one of these idiots that design the malicious code, I had have a few….. Let me not get into that, it might come back to haunt me durng my murder trial. LOL

About the Author

I am in my 40s and have been in the technology industry in one form or another for the past 25+ years. I used to be a big PC guy but over the past couple of years I have switched over to the Macintosh camp. I am passionate about online gaming, it gives me an outlet to channel my stress after a demanding day of work. If there is not a console around to fit the bill a nice bottle of 18 year old Scotch will do just fine.
