yes, IE has its flaws, but don't you think it's because there's so many people out there LOOKING for flaws in it? many of the flaws are so obscure, almost no one would ever fall for them--though of course, some were quite serious. however this whole issue of IE being a leaky ship ready to spew your secrets across the internet is simply not true. also, today (july 9th) a security hole was found in mozilla. see the story at

so much for alternative browsers! and note, internet explorer has an auto update feature which has probably patched all the flaws out there by now, since it is automatically activated.
