Microsoft has announced that will automatically update the Internet Explorer browser to the latest version in the beginning of next year. This way , Microsoft makes sure that online users are browsing safely.
As announced, the update will be made by Internet Explorer users of Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, starting with Australia and Brazil in January, before they take place in the world. Only those who have set the "automatic updates" in Windows will be eligible for upgrade. Browser will be updated to a version that will offers features similar to modern browsers such as Firefox and Chrome because Microsoft wants IE users to be protected in case of a virtual attack.
According to a report made by Security Company, less than 1 percent of attacks work immediately after updating the browser, while 99% of them are efficient against users who refused to install the latest version of security update. Despite the fact that users of Windows computers have at their disposal a number of browsers more efficient, fast and safe (Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari, etc), 53% of them choose to use IE. Firefox and Chrome developers have also made "silent updates" to their browsers in order not to "stress" their users every time they solve a security problem.
