IE is so popular and widespread, thats why the most nasties is made towards it.

If firefox or other software gets to be as popular, we will see some nasties made for it too.

Pretty simple.

But, to surf about in the net these days with "default settings" on IE is a
bit silly.
Atleast, keeping the Windows and IE updated, the chances for nasties to
spread can be kept to minimal.

I do update the suff even if I dont use the IE that much.
And the thruth is, a lot of ppl uses IE.
