Networking giant Cisco has published a raft of security advisories as part of its biannual patch-release schedule.
Security researchers have suggested that like food, browsers should have a best-before or expiry date. This comes after revealing that 637 million internet users are surfing with outdated and unpatched browsers, which puts them at risk from Web-based attacks.
Two security flaws have been found in the recently released Windows version of Apple's Safari browser despite Apple's attempts to increase the user-base for Safari, its small size will help protect users, say security experts.

Kaspersky is a strong security suite, but that the extra features available in Internet Security make it worthwhile to pay for, whereas the standard Kaspersky Anti-Virus doesn't offer enough on its own to compare favourably against high-performing, free antivirus programs.
