    Chanced upon this today after visiting Amazon and had a warning show at the top of the screen

    There is a security vulnerability if you have your browser set to use ssl 3

    Amazon have a warning that they will be blocking browsers using it. The threat seems that bad

    This is on the Microsoft website along with the fix

    If you have a website on a web server running SSLV3, you will need to change it to use SSLV2.
