hi

If ie8 shows as insecure because of SA24314 there is no patch.

You may like to read the posts by Maurice Joyce who always gives great advice in this thread, link provided, hope it works:

You could try the Chrome browser. I've been using it for quite a while....both Beta and stable versions ( recommended ). You'll still need to make sure you keep it up to date, and remove older versions,dependant from where the new version is obtained.
Personally, I find it clean, simple to use, and very fast.
The new release can be obtained at:- http://www.google.com/chrome/index.html?brand=CHNQ...
