If you’re running Internet Explorer 8, 9 or 10, you shouldn’t be. Extended support has finished for IE8, 9 and 10. That means that there are no security fixes for you. Going forward, only IE9 on Vista SP2, IE11 (the latest edition of IE released in 2013) on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1 are now supported. Thus your choices are:
- Upgrade to the latest IE on your version of Windows.
- Use an alternate browser such as Firefox or Chrome.
Why should you care? You can get pwned by hackers if you’re running an insecure browser as there are many “drive by” attacks out there that simply infect any user that surfs to an infected website. That should be reason enough for you to upgrade.
