Ray,

Right now you can get viruses on your system simply by using IE to browse
web pages. There are THAT many security holes. A hole was just discovered
this week in the latest IE 6 with XP Service Pack 2 that is really bad, for
example.

Firefox isn't squeaky clean, but it was written with security in mind and
it's open source, so anyone can patch the thing if they want to.

Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but what's wrong with IE and OE?
