IE6 use generates instant viruses

[Peledad]

I rarely use IE6, for many reasons. In the past week, it
was started by a legitimate link and immediately generated
a warning screen from my TrendMicro Internet Security 2004
program:
Six viruses had been generated all of them were placed
into the Restore\Temp directory.
This happened twice in one day.

I needed to disable the Restroe function to delete the
files, whose number/names were displayed by TMInternet
Security2004.

I had never updated IE^, since basically, I am an ABM
person (Anything But Microsoft)

Hi:

Which browser(s) do you use instead?

If you updated IE6 and didn't go surfing around with Active Scripting and
Active X enabled you'd probably not get anything. Works for me.

P.S. - I won't tell if you won't tell, but you are accessing this *MS
