Every time a security bug is discovered in a browser the vendor of a browser issues a patch to correct the bug. You can usually download and install the patches for free. Browser Security Test report provides you with the links to the patches that correct problems found in your browser.
Browsers, just like any other programs have bugs. Most bugs are just annoying. But some bugs can be exploited to violate the security of your computer. You browser receives and processes data sent to it by web sites. A web site can send your browser some data that exploits a bug in a browser and violates your computer's security
A web site operator can modify his web site so that it attempts to exploit the browsers of all the visitors. Or a hacker can break into a web site and put in some code to hack into the browsers of all the visitors. Some email programs (for example, Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express and Netscape Messenger) use the browser to display email messages. Someone can send you an email message that will be displayed by your browser and exploit a bug in your browser.
