I want to turn my old computer into a web server. What security issues are there?

/in

I have an old desktop computer that I would like to turn into a web server. I have installed apache, but I’m reluctant to go any farther because I’m concerned about security.

Do I need to delete Internet Explorer from my computer b/c of new security issues?

/in

I just read an article about the security issues Microsoft is having with Internet Explorer…It has been suggested that for the time being those using IE should switch to a different browser until the glitch is fixed.

Do I need to actually delete IE from my computer?? Or am I okay as long as I don’t use it for my browser (I also have Safari)??

Thanks, hope you can help!
