Previous versions are compromised but IE 8 is as secure as any other browser. Firefox and all its extensions is useful if you like playing with computers for the sake of playing with computers, it is also useful if you like visiting the dodgier side of the net. Although folk do think they are invulnerable, all the recent drive by infections I've had to deal with recently have been clients with Firefox in the nether regions of the web. By all means install another browser if you want to "get at nasty Microsoft", after all you don't want to give Bill Gates anymore money he'll only go and spend it on third world health care.</blockquote>
