stop using IE. I think it's a good fast browser but it's such a virus
minefield now it's not worth using anymore. MS doesn't seem to give a shit
about it either, no new versions in like a year
Not only is it a virus minefield, as you rightly put it, but it is
obsolete. Microsoft has had no reason to improve it for years, and
they haven't. They are only now working on improvements, and the
sole reason is because they are getting afraid of Mozilla, which
is a superior browser in every respect.
The problem is, dunderheads want to surf without any hinderances
or troubles of any kind. They leave everything turned on in IE and
then come here and whine when they get a virus or malware. Hey,
idiots! Yes, I'm talking to you! It is *not safe* to use IE in its
default mode. You CANNOT trust Microsoft to protect you.
They have to realize that some Web sites are irresponsibly written
to only work with the default settings in IE. These sites are
*poison* because they encourage people who don't have a clue to
leave IE that way for general Web surfing. They might as well play
hop scotch on the train tracks.
