    The Internet is not safe if you use Windows and IE 6/7. Please Do NOT click any links until these issues are fixed. If you do, you might get pwn3d by 12 year-old script-kiddies or unemployed computer geeks turned hackers that still live with their mothers in the basement and are upset at the world.
