PSA:

For those using Firefox as a browser, you might be interested to know that a more secure, and more stable version, 1.0.1 is now available. You can get it here. (Note: When you download the modlue, do not put it in a folder where an existing Firefox install is present.)

For those not using Firefox, you might want to consider using it. In the last couple of weeks we've been assisting people who have had their Windows system totally corrupted by worms and hijacks that exploit MS Internet Browser vulnerabilities. We've seen problems on XP machines - even though they are supposed to be more secure. The damage can be severe and is not easliy repaired (if at all).

I downloaded it today and it went directly into the old folder. Should I do it again?

You should take the download module: Firefox Setup 1.0.1.exe
and put it in a different folder (from the one where 1.0 is being kept). Then run it to install the updated browser.
