Microsoft is
further encouraging users to update Microsoft IE 6 to the free IE8 web
browser.
IE8 is considered to be more secure in terms of being more relevant to current
online security threats, including those from social networking.
The free Internet Explorer 6 upgrade to IE8 can be obtained from the Microsoft
website. We recommend that user update Microsoft IE 6 as soon as possible
since IE 8 contains many more security features for the IE user.
IE7 and IE8 also contain many extra features, such a tabbed browsing which we
believe makes web browsers easier to use. This is another reason why users
should take advantage of the Microsoft IE 6 upgrade.
Security features of Internet Explorer
8:
- Bad Site list.
- Script protection.
- Anti-Phishing.
- Anti-Malware protection.
- Private browsing mode.
- Safety alert notifications.
- and more.
And, as mentioned IE8 contains many additional features not directly related to
security.
IE 8 has been out for a while now so users of Microsoft IE 6 should consider the
upgrade as soon as possible.
IE 7 users should also consider an update since IE8 has a vast array of
additional security features.
In short, we recommend users of Microsoft IE 6 upgrade for better
security protection and extra features.
