Story: Thinking of ditching IE? Think again

Obviously on the side of IE. The pain of migrating (which is very small) compared with the pain of constantly removing spyware etc, etc (vary large - even with MS Anti-spyware) makes it a no-brainer. I'm made Firefox my default browser for everything. For those few (and I mean 3 or 4 that I need) I either use a shortcut that lunches IE or just go to my start menu and pick IE. I mean how difficult is that? And the benefit; I've actually given up runing regular spyware scans, I now do them every month or so. Do you know how much I find? Zip, zilch, nada, nothing. A big fat zero. you tell me think again. I say you think again! This goes for my girlfriends PC, my Mum's PC and a couple of my clients who don't seem to be able to resist any link for porn!
