Congratulations. And to think it was only yesterday the Justice Department had nothing better to do than remove IE from all windows applications. Show ya' how smart a bunch of justice lawyers can be. Now send 'em all to SE Asia and let them be useful for a change.
Yeah, old thread, I know, but I wanted to say this much; the Justice Department's problem with IE was that it became integrated into the operating system. And they were right: just because you don't have IE open doesn't mean it isn't running. If you bring up the task manager, you'll see explorer.exe--the IE system shell. You can't shut it down, because it's necessary to run everything from your taskbar on up. Every time you open My Computer or the Control Panel, you're loading it in an IE window.
One major reason Windows is insecure is because IE has become Windows.
