There is no one operating system, browser, anti-virus, firewall, hardware router, or whatever, that cannot be exploited.
I've never claimed there was. Anyone who visits my FR homepage will find it full of PC/Windows security-related links.
While I offer alternatives to MSIE, I also link to an article with tips on how to harden IE. The choice is up to the individual. I hope they make an educated one.
Again, I have never claimed that Mozilla, Firefox or Opera were immune to virii, malware, etc. However, these browsers simply do not suffer from the myriad IE-only vulnerabilities, which include, but are not limited to, those related to AciveX. (E.G. drive-by downloads.)
For those interested in PC security-related links, visit my FR homepage. The information is there. Do what you will with it.

Oh, dear! Didn't mean for you to take it personal! Only wanted to hear your opinion.
I applaud your efforts to educate!
