Thank God nobody in their right mind browses with IE......
To anyone possibly affected by this problem, may I present the only browser I ever use, Opera. Low memory footprint, versitile, and stable as can be:
http://www.opera.com

Firefox user here
Just say no to Explorer!

we still have to use stupid IE occasionally... our bank's site never displays correctly on FF, and stupid blackboard also has occasional problems with FF.
But that's about all we ever do in IE, so we should be ok, I guess...
but there are still LOADS of people who haven't even HEARD of FF !
ridiculous !

Try opera. I use it primarily for it's ability to render different web pages.
yeah I guess I'm gonna get opera and just use it for those 2 sites IF they work ok on opera...thanks.
I hope the little Fox won't be jealous

I am afraid to switch because of problems I might have. Can you set up IE and opera or FF?
No problem adding FF and/or Opera to your system at all.
Then you just pick which browser you want to open and use at any given time.
The one browser I tried and didn't like was Google Chrome. It was slower than the other three on media content on my box.

Rockin Google Chrome right now. I'm not sure how safe it is, though.
Firefox or Opera Hmmmm................................

Both of my work machines still use IE 6!
But I've installed FF 3 on both and use them exclusively for web browsing ... IT has a policy against installing our own software but I'm doing them a favour using a more secure browser.

This subject never ceases to amaze me. Those of you who assume you are safe because you are not using IE should think again.
Very serious vulnerabilities exist among ALL browsers.
Although I too use Opera and FF, I still have IE 7.0 that I use on occasion.

I have a few sites that I'd like you go to using IE 6 or IE 7, then go to them with any of the Mozilla variants or Opera. With IE, you WILL have a plethora of junk automatically installed. With the others, you won't have any stuff installed.
Are you Paul Thurott in disguise?

No, I assume I'm safe because I run linux. Opera and Firefox are just better designed and easier to use with the bonus of being less vulnerable.

I wouldn't trust a bank that cannot get a website working right with FF. If I were you I would switch bank instead.

I have zero problems with IE and Windows XP. No virues, malware, no crashes. Never have had a "blue screen of death". Microsoft has 95% of the desktop market for a reason.
Linux is a fun....maybe even better alternative with so many different varients.
All fun. Do I want to play in XP, Ubuntu, DSL, or Sabayon? Depends on the machine and your mood. Good to have more than one browser at the ready too.
