Sign into your accountSecurity Alert: It's Time to Stop Using Internet Explorer!
January 07 2016
Agents and brokers who are still using Internet Explorer (IE) will need to switch to a new web browser by next Tuesday, when Microsoft drops support for versions 8, 9 and 10 of its flagship browser.
Version 11 of the browser will still be supported, however. That means if you run Windows 8.1 or 10, you don't need to worry about upgrading (yet) as IE11 comes pre-installed. Those running Windows 8 or earlier will need to switch to a new browser by next Tuesday to reduce security risks.
Sad to see Internet Explorer go? Don't be. Internet Explorer has, for years, presented numerous security flaws that leave computers vulnerable to malicious attacks. The browser has also been the bane of web developers due to its notoriety for not following web standards and incorrectly rendering some web elements.
Making the Switch
Fortunately, switching browsers is not a painful process. Most modern browsers offer import wizards that make it easy to transfer over your bookmarks and options.
The main Internet Explorer alternatives for Windows users are Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. Microsoft launched a new browser, called Edge, with Windows 10 that's intended to replace Internet Explorer. However, recent reports say that Edge is plagued by many of the same security issues as its predecessor, so you may want to stay away from it for now.
Until then, making the switch is as easy as downloading the browser of your choice then installing it on your computer.
