Along with everybody else that gets loaded up with spyware from using IE.

Also - Where the hell is badmofo at? Usually he is here by now calling us all fuckfaces for glorifying firefox.

It's like old Jack Burton always says, it's not the browser, its the operator.

I think his head is hiding this thread from his eyes.
 
Don't get me wrong, I like firefox. I just prefer IE and can't understand why people get spyware/viruses from it. The only explanation I can think of is ignorance.

Probably because you were smart enough to disable ActiveX, remove MS-VM and install Java, keep your OS and IE updated and customize IE's other security settings while being smart about where you browse. Assuming that's all correct, then you're in the 1% of users who has the knowledge to browse with IE safely. For the rest of the web community IE is an open door to your machine. Spyware/malware/trojans are a HUGE problem and are only getting worse. The corporate IT industry is losing serious money over spyware/malware/trojan security issues. If you don't think that there are serious problems with IE then you're a blind man. SP2 was a step in the right direction, but it wasn't far enough.
 
the only thing i can't stand about IE is the tabbed browsing thing... i could NOT live without tabbed browsing, that shit is so nifty :heart: firefox

i will probably switch to IE when version 7 comes out if it has tabbed browsing
