You answered your own question, Robert - choose another browser. Opera and Mozilla are both excellent. My choice would be Mozilla because of its superior standards compliance. Your loyalty to Microsoft is horrifically misplaced. M$ internet apps are the single biggest risk to your online security. Give them up. Use some *real* softare. (I won't admonish you here to use a *real* operating system like Linux, BSD or OSX, because *that* could be seen as trolling.)
