Hello: I currently use only IE 6 (I know, I know) because it has one
of the most important security features that has prevented a number of
infections recently.  I have three separate OS partitions with XP on
each.  One is used for my non-web work with ALL data and most programs
on another drive.  Another is used for my normal Web work and has NO
connection to ANY data; documents, projects, etc.  And the last is a
test partition setup the same way, to test security where I take more
risks.  So, on my test partition, in the last month, I was infested
twice by a number of malware programs that got through all (numerous)
defenses.  My normal web partition is setup slightly differently.  I
use only IE and have ActiveX and scripts set to "Prompt" and add only
a few sites I trust to the trusted sites list. Even the trusted sites
prompt for permission when scripts from other sites are executed at
that site (and I say no, which works fine).  It has NEVER been
infected.  It's a pain, I know, but it's MUCH safer and would be great
if Chrome had the same so it was at least as secure IE in that
respect.  I'll use Chrome for regular web access when it has it.
Thanks.
