Web users have been warned by the German Government to find an alternative browser to the IT Company Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. The warning comes after Software Company Microsoft admitted IE was the weak link in recent attacks on IT Company Google’s systems.
Microsoft rejected the warning, saying that the risk to users was low and that the browsers’ increased security setting would prevent any serious risk. However, German authorities say that even this would not make IE fully safe.
Thomas Baumgaertner, a spokesman for IT Company Microsoft in Germany, said that while they were aware of the warning, they did not agree with it, saying that the attacks on IT Support Company Google were by “highly motivated people with a very specific agenda”.
IT Company Microsoft responded by saying the security hole can be shut by setting the browser’s security zone to “high”, although this limits functionality and blocks many websites.
