Versions of Internet Explorer That Are Still Supported Computer World estimates that 340 million people could be affected, essentially leaving them with an unsecure web browser unless they take action. Not changing your browser or failing to upgrade IE to the most current iteration possible will leave those running unsupported versions of IE vulnerable to technical glitches and web security threats. Or, select a new web browser, such as the free Chrome and Firefox. If you use IE to browse the web, now would be a good time to make sure you are using the most current version of IE possible for your Windows operating system. In our experience, many visitors to industrial websites use Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) - the default web browser installed on Windows-based computers since 1995. In which case, we thought readers might be interested to know that Microsoft has halted its support for all versions of IE other than the ones that are considered current for its supported operating systems, which include Windows Vista, 7, 8, Server, and Embedded OS.
