Yeah whatever Internet Explorer has so many more Problems than Firefox! On top of that Firefox issues are patched alot faster than IE due to the fact it is open source.

They can say internet exporer is the best, but I think they're full of it. I've had more problems using internet exploder than I ever have using FireFox.

Who has made Symantec the business that it is? NOT Firefox. Who would one expect them to support but M$ IE?

So IE sucks 0.00000001% less today than it did yesterday...maybe.
Nah.

But the report, released Monday, also found that hackers are still focusing their efforts on IE.Microsoft haters are a lot like Bush haters.

Yeah, that's why my every use of IE is met with spyware and other hacks, while I've yet to encounter a single Firefox-related problem.

Listen, I love Firefox as much as anyone and have been using it as my primary browser since the pre 1.0 betas. The reality of the situation, however, is that Firefox has experienced 25 vulnerabilities during the first half of the year, with 18 being critical. IE, on the other hand, has experienced 13, with 8 of those being critical. So to say that IE has more problems just doesn't "add up" so to speak.
Also, though the flaws may be patched quicker, there are a few problems with them. First, the Firefox patches require that you uninstall the old version and install a new version. It's not so much a patch as it is an entirely new installation. I know the Mozilla folks are supposedly working on a better update system, but for now, to most users, this "patch" process isn't very friendly. Also, in an an era of near-zero-day exploits, patching quick may not be as helpful. If the exploit's already out there, it's too late. Better to have fewer issues than rely on quick patches that users may or may not apply.

Why not one word here on using Netscapes browser? I use the new 8 and it seems fine. It is somehow related to or uses Fire Fox based stuff. (I am no geek so excuse the ignorance) I have not been infected in any way that I know and I've been using it fro years. I have tried FF and for some reason it screws up my display settings. (on my home computer) I use FF at work and like it.

BROWSER TRAFFIC.... Here is a plot showing the percent of page views for each of the three main browsers. The data are taken from the >1,800,000 page views for my
www.varmintal.com site over the 17 month period. FireFox is on the rise. Internet Explorer and Netscape are losing ground. What is that saying and it could be applied to FireFox?

This is highly misleading. Symantec says that they base their assertions on data provided by the companies.
Mozilla foundation reports all their vulnerabilities because the large open source community acts as a peer review for their products.
Microsoft doesn't have any kind of peer review of their code base--it's a closed system.
What Microsoft doesn't report, Symantec doesn't report--understand the truthuntruths?
