Internet Explorer, while a great browser, is awfully insecure, a spyware honeypot, and does not even begin to block popups. More so, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kb.cert.org\/vuls\/id\/713878\">U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT)<\/a> issued an advisory asking computer users not to use it. From the horse&#8217;s mouth:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nThere are a number of significant vulnerabilities in technologies relating to the IE domain\/zone security model, the DHTML object model, MIME type determination, the graphical user interface (GUI), and ActiveX. It is possible to reduce exposure to these vulnerabilities by using a different web browser, especially when browsing untrusted sites.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you want to help in fighting spam, spyware, viruses, popups and security holes aplenty, please consider switching from Internet Explorer, and installing Firefox or another suitable Web browser. Using a computer is not difficult; but as in all other things on Earth, we have to be good stewards of our resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On November 9, the Mozilla Foundation released version 1.0 final of the Mozilla Firefox Web browser.
