Why would I want to install another browser, that simply increases my
possibility of having a vulnerability? Most who've done this simply have a
second browser they haven't kept updated.
There's nothing useful about adding a browser to 'increase' security, this
is simply a cop out by those who don't know how to configure IE. And with IE
7, there is even less purpose with the improved protection.
The main thing most need to do is remove the P2P software from their PC and
stay away from the adult web sites. A quick skim of any popular malware
removal site shows these are the top issues. Those who add browsers and
things like Sun Java simply find themselves with more vulnerabilities and
more updates to download, which is the other key issue ignored by many of
these same people.
The key to security is to simplify, complexity adds confusion and
vulnerability.
