The BBC News website has posted a warning about security issues with Microsoft Internet Explorer. We recommend that you use Firefox for browsing the world wide web.

If you are not already using Firefox to browse the web, then you should try this latest version, which promises:
"Firefox 1.5 has an intuitive interface and blocks viruses, spyware, and popup ads. It delivers web pages faster than ever. And it’s easy to install and import your favorites. Packed with useful features like tabbed browsing, Live Bookmarks, and an integrated Search bar, Firefox will change the way you experience the Web, for the better."

If you're already a Firefox user, then you should upgrade now.
