Microsoft yesterday announced new security features within the upcoming release of Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2.
Security researchers have suggested that like food, browsers should have a best-before or expiry date. This comes after revealing that 637 million internet users are surfing with outdated and unpatched browsers, which puts them at risk from Web-based attacks.
Windows Vista is a leap forward in terms of security, but few people who know the operating system say the advances are enough to justify an upgrade.
Microsoft, under pressure to add new features to Internet Explorer, said it might do so by way of the browser's add-on mechanism.
A Finnish security company has warned that hackers could exploit an outdated, little-used Internet protocol to seize control of computers running Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser.
