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?
