According to Symantec (the Norton Internet Security people) the biggest threats are going to come from the web instead of email in 2008.

Websites that take advantage of security holes in our web browsers are becoming more of a threat than unknown attachments and the like coming through email.

I guess it makes sense. As more people become aware of one type of threat, the hackers will try to find new ways to attack. It’s a never ending cat-and-mouse game.

One of the most important steps you can take is also one of the easiest. Make sure your browser is up-to-date with all the latest security fixes.

And if you’re still running Internet Explorer 6, stop reading this right now and go download either version 7 or Firefox. IE6 is one of the most insecure products ever to come out of Microsoft.
