Give IE the heave-ho until Microsoft patches zero-day

The U.S. government’s top cyber-security agency is telling Internet Explorer (IE) users they should consider running a different browser until Microsoft fixes a critical vulnerability.

The U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) added its voice to the growing chorus of security organizations and companies that have warned people of the flaw, which affects IE6, IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10 and IE11.
