Unbelieveable! Just when a person starts to feel M$ has stepped up security almost enough to begin coming closer to not feeling a sense of misplaced trust, then POW! This kind of article comes up. For Lynda and I the mantra around here is "FireFox where you can, IE only where you must". Even if IE performed better, it comes to a matter of speed at what potential cost. Even with its own vulnerabilities I would prefer FF over IE any day of the week. My greatest fear is passing an infection to a client, my 2nd greatest fear is losing data, my 3rd greatest fear is getting infected despite all the protections I have in place. And all those fears are just about at the same level.
