it is not a matter of what you are downloading and opening. actually, let me restate that- it is, but it isn't. if you are a dumbass and download and open ---- you shouldnt, you will ---- up your computer using ANY o/s, ANY browser, ANY antivirus, and ANY anti spyware ----. you deserve to have your computer fucked up if you are doing that. that is not issue that i am addressing here with this post. i am assuming the user has half of a brain enough to not download and open ---- they are not supposed to, open strange emails, etc. the issue that i am addressing here is that internet exploder has horrible security holes in it that allow malicious code from websites to be run WITHOUT ANY USER PROMPTING OR INTERVENTION. therefore, it is very difficult to prevent these types of attacks with internet exploder. i personally go to alot of warez and pr0n sites. many of these websites try to hijack your browser. often, if you are using internet explorer... there isn't a ------- thing you can do about it besides bend over and get raped without the lotion because you are fucked. other browsers typically do not suffer from such extreme security holes, which is why i am suggesting people not use internet explorer. granted, if you only go to reputable websites you SHOULD not have any problems using internet exploder. it is also possible to strengthen the security in internet explorer. however, upon doing this, it loses an extreme amount of functionality and becomes relatively useless. there seems to be no comfortable middle ground with it as there is with other browsers.
