I’m not disputing Opera’s security, but as a Firefox user I have not ONCE had a security issue in the several years since dumping IE.

When I ran IE I was constantly going through computers to try and stay ahead of the flaws.

I think most Firefox users are in the same boat.

If I were an MSN user or subscriber, and clicked on this story, I'd be thinking twice about their browser and looking at other alternatives. Sure, you have to hand it to MSN for addressing this issue (if anyone at MSN even had any part in selecting this article from PCWorld, which is doubtful), but the cup of irony is filled to the brim on this one :) And yes, if IE would set as default to prompt on all activex, the world would be a much better place. Thanks for the comments!

All this anger and moaning over something you can fix yourself is pretty dumb. If you set IE to prompt on all activex, your IE will be perfectally secure and you’ll have very little to worry about.

Loren, you did notice that the article still recommends IE 7 later in the review?
