I must admit I am a computer idiot. When I was in China, most of the most problems I met when I was using a computer, I had to turn to my friend or technological staff.
When I began my study in UK, I knew I have to rely on myself. One of the headaches for me is to solve the computer problems.
The Lenovox61 I am using now was the first laptop I bought, just before I left for London.
Two days ago, I could not log on to Internet again. I have though maybe that’s another problem with the Internet Company.
Every time when I tried to open with my IE, it said: There’s something wrong with it. If there’s solution, the company will inform you. I was so frustrated with trying to get to be connected again and again.
Finally I downloaded a Mozilla Firefox from my friend’s hard disc. Oh, at last, I’m online. But I still did not know what was wrong with IE. In the last two days I’m forced to use another web browser.
Until today when I turned on the radio, I knew what’s wrong. This time is not my fault; it’s Microsoft’s.
According to the report. In addition to IE7, other versions like IE5 and IE6 have been found to be vulnerable to a flaw, which on proper exploitation could enable a hacker to seize complete control over web surfer’s computer.
A computer idiot like me, has given all our trust to Microsoft and hopes that as long as we don’t open porn website we will be protected from danger.
Years later we realized that nothing could be guaranteed.
It seems now I have to change my habit of using IE.
