Microsoft no longer supports Internet Explorer 8, 9 and 10
- 8 years ago
Although PC users love to hate Microsoft's Internet Explorer, the software is credited with helping millions of people enjoy their first taste of the web.
The browser is not as popular as it once was, but Microsoft has continued to support older versions in order to safeguard users.
For people using Internet Explorer 8, 9 and 10, however, that is no longer the case, as the company has now withdrawn technical support and security updates for the aging browsers.
The browser isn't going away completely, as the company will continue to support Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge.
If you decide you want to keep using the older versions, Microsoft warns that you will be more susceptible to viruses, malware and other malicious software that can steal your data or hijack your PC.
