This is why I don’t use Internet Explorer.
Although Microsoft has been feeling the heat from users and analysts concerned about the rash of vulnerabilities in the Internet Explorer browser, company officials last week wouldn’t commit to a timetable for fixing the problem-plagued browser.

IE is plauged with holes, major holes. The reason for these being so bad is the fact that the browser is part of windows. On small hole will give a hacker a door straight into your computer. Now small holes shouldn’t be much of a problem and should be easily and quickly fixed, but no. Microsoft haven’t done hardly a thing about it and the longer they stay open the more time for hackers to devise was to exploit it and get into systems.
Now the alternatives, for example Opera and Mozilla. Opera being my personal favourite and Mozilla being a popular alternative which is doing very well for itself. Both have problems from time to time with small holes being found. These holes are generally fixed within 24 hours.
So I please try not to use IE. Try an alternative browser for your own saftey. Please.
