Security problems with Internet Explorer, choose another browser

Microsoft has informed that there is a security hole in the Internet Explorer browser, version 9, 10 and 11, which allows an outsider to take full control of a computer if you browse a maliciously crafted website. This problem is only related to computers and servers running Windows.

Microsoft does not yet have a solution to the problem and there is no time for it to be available.

Central IT therefore recommends all users not to use Internet Explorer, but instead choose Google Chrome, Firefox or Microsoft Edge.
If you have any questions, please contact the IT support at support@gu.se or phone 786 2020.
