It's so comical how people complain about IE for the sole reason that it's made by Microsoft and it's the most popular browser on the planet. If you swapped the names on Firefox and IE the microsoft bashers would STILL hate IE.

IE gets targetted for viruses just like WoW gets targetted for viruses, or the PC on the whole versus the MAC. The virus markers will ALWAYS target the popular software since it gives them the greatest chance to impact the largest number of people. If the popularity numbers were reversed the virus makers would be hacking Firefox right, left and center.

I use IE and I have NEVER had anything even close to an infection. I tried Firefox once and gave up after it failed to play a simple video file from a popular news website. I'll stick to a browser that works thanks...
