Windows XP users still clinging to Internet Explorer 6 have been urged by Microsoft  to upgrade their browser to more recent versions.

According to Microsoft: "IE6 is a nine-year-old web browser and doesn't sufficiently protect users from the latest security threats. Microsoft is urging customers to upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer so that they are not leaving themselves vulnerable."

Support for the old browser is disappearing, and pretty soon sites will no longer work in IE6.
