Rick Ferguson at Trend Micro told the BBC, "If users can find an alternative browser, then that's good mitigation against the threat."
Strangely enough, Microsoft responded with the quote deps used. They would prefer the uneducated masses would continue to use their broken browser, despite the fact they don't currently know how to fix it and despite the fact that the hackers were onto it before this news even hit.
Are they that afraid that people trying a new browser will never come back? Maybe if even MS don't believe in their own product, I should stop using it after all...
