I see your point Mike...but honestly i never had any serious problems with IE.
I do run a Spy&Ad remover every once in a week and i have my anti-virus updated.
Of course our data is very important but i dont think you need all that steel.
Spyware, adware, trojan, virus .... are a plague and no one is safe.
If i start using Firefox i will not need to run any sy&ad removers or anti-virus!
If this is true i will be the first one to change.
Thanks
Paulo
