Geez people!!!, just install a firewall, get all the updates be careful with what you download and SHUP THE HELL UP!!! :P



Unoftunately a firewall does not prevent HTTP exploits. Most of those can be handled by a well-programmed web browser. IE just sucks ass.... that is all.

That does not solve all the problems. The larger problems deal with ActiveX, Scripting and Frames.

I use a software firewall, Agnitum, and run Opera for the Browser. Even then, I only enable ActiveX, Scripting and Frames on sites that I absolutely trust.

The only time I use IE is when I go VPN to my company network. Opera will work there, but the site is really designed for MS products.

Don't recall where I read this, but supposedly Bill Gates made a statement that IE was to be redesigned from the ground up due to the number of security issues involving IE.
