[img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] What planet are you from? I wouldn't consider any bank that thinks IE is secure to be trustworthy. IE is THE MOST insecure browser out there. Just the fact that you are using Winblows (which is explicit in using IE) means you are insecure.

I got a virus last year that knocked out all my access to applications. I had to access the internet via run commands to bring up the browser. FF was my default browser at the time, and when I finally got to an online scanner it wouldnt let me use FF with it. Of course, all my access was locked out so I couldn't change my browser at all. If you get any kind of Desktop hijacker it can do this and give you problems. After that I deleted FF and never looked back. Until it replaces IE it isn't worth the risk or the hassle. Fast browsing isn't an issue for me. IE7 is liquid fast and rarely are the times any of us on broadband are sitting around waiting for pages to load anyways. Repent while you can and all will be forgiven.

You do realize that this behaviour you love is THE main vector for desktop infection by virii, don't you? The ability to install executable code through the IE browser (this is called ActiveX) is very, VERY dangerous - and the INability to do this is a feature for me, and many others - not a bug.
Oh, and if you are smart, you don't rely on an online scanner (which can be tricked if you are well and truly screwed by an infection), you prepare by having a scanner bootdisk - which will work even if your internet acces is hosed by the virus. [/QUOTE]I think you are saying alot but managing to steer clear from anything that is in any way relevant. People, please re-read posts carefully and thoroughly before spewing paragraphs of these stupid assumptions and arrogant conclusions all the while patting yourself on the back for "saying what you feel". There is no need to be a rude prick about the fact that you disagree. It is enough that your reasons are retarded but atop this you have to come off as annoying AND clueless. Just, don't.
