MAKE SURE YOUR IE IS PATCHED! by Peace_man 2007-11-29 10:02:33
Yes, I meant to yell loud enough to get everybody's attention. Internet attacks are getting smarter and smarter, and will zombiefy your PC using any known vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. Just by visiting what appears to be legit sites presented by Google and other search engines.

Of course, using Firefox will help protect you - but only so far as Firefox gets ignored. When the numbers of Firefox users start to equal IE's, then exploits for it will become common. And it is probably about as vulnerable as IE :-(
