My only point is that if you stay up to date, the chances aren't really any better on IE than on another browser. They all have exploits and vulnerabilities. To think otherwise is fooling yourself. To think the other browsers are less vulnerable is fooling yourself. Just because the hackers attack a specific browser does not mean other browsers are not as vulnerable or are more secure. If you do like I said and keep a popup blocker running (IE's or another) and don't visit porn sites -- those are where most viruses/trojans can be found -- then you really are pretty safe with IE or any browser.
