From a slashdot.org posting of a BBC News article:

"Citing security flaws that lead to ads and spys on Microsoft infested computers the BBC in this article recomends avoiding Internet Explorer."Ain't it the truth? Mostly its about adware & spyware and other wretched bits of software that make the internet suck a little more each day.

Open Source "more vulnerable" than Microsoft?

...only in the mind of Microsoft Public Relation hacks.

I keep javascript disabled on the internet zone, and check almost daily for spyware using Ad-aware. It's all personal opinion, for me IE is just better than Netscape.

What's funny about this is that ANY popular browser would face the same fate. Explorer is part of windows so I wonder if they are bulking in OS vulnerabilities as well.

It's pretty unethical for you to change the title of the article to suit your petty little pro-Linux agenda.

Some call it the "Internet Exploder"....

Its only the second post I've ever made. Good luck with your
Microsoft stock...

[Bush2000]

Its only the second post I've ever made.

Then take it as a future lesson: Quote the actual title of the article and put your own title in brackets. It's the way things are done around here.
