Demand competently written software. - mike - Mike, My only point is that other software *also* has holes. The only reason Internet Explorer has been singled out is that it is so popular and widespread. Heck, there may be some folks with the old TRS-80 model 1 with a modem and bulletin board software. I'd bet there are no viruses written for it. I wonder why ... LOL. I.E. is a big and tempting target, but not any more or less buggy than other browsers (or, as I mentioned, Windoze vs other systems). Other operating systems may be more stable (such as Linux), but have security problems as well. Hey Jim. I think IE is not only a big target, it is an easy one too. It's integration with the OS looks good on the surface but is a fatal flaw. I don't think I can convince too many people of that tho', as the arguments are getting redundant at this point. If you wish, use IE and Outlook, just be sure to never ever miss an update, and hope the update works for you. I'll do a different path. So I'll just have to say "Practice safe computing, in whatever form you may wish, and all be careful, eh"? - Mike KB3EIA - |
