Yep, Nils is right. For all those who don't speak geek here's the English translation:
The program most of you use to surf the Web: "Microsoft Internet Explorer" is not very good. It has many serious security flaws meaning that if you visit a dodgy website (or even a legitimate one which got hacked) it can install all kinds of dodgy programs on your computer (viruses, spyware etc) WITHOUT YOU REALISING.
In addition to all the security problems Internet Explorer is also a pretty out-dated browser. Newer ones have many more features that can make browsing easier, faster and more fun such as pop-up blocking (that works a *lot* better than the Google toolbar add-on for IE), tabbed browsing, mouse gestures etc....
So, do yourselves a favour and install an alternative browser. Currently I would recommend either "Firefox" (www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/) or "Opera" (www.opera.com) - try them out use the one you like best!
