Is Internet Explorer toxic?
That’s what Adrian Kingsley-Hughes says at ZDNet:
I used to be a big fan of IE, but years of having to apply patch after patch, and carry out workaround after workaround has made me glad that Windows 7 offers users a quick and easy way to make IE go away. Make IE go away and you make ActiveX go away, and users rid themselves of a huge security millstone. While IE presents less of a threat on Vista and 7, but since much of the world still relies on XP, it’s one application that makes the Internet a much more dangerous place for all of us.
Anyone else see IE as the toxic choice?
If you insist on using IE, be sure to apply all the patches that I keep posting about. And disable ActiveX except for your most trusted sites.
