Its never happened to me. I bet that most of the people didnt have updated anti-virus and security software though. I know McAffee Security center something blasts anything that comes my way into a billion micro-bytes.

<======= Already uses Netscape and has never had a problem with it. In fact, I love it so much, I'm going to name my kids Netscape and Mozilla.

Netscape is a tank. Try opera is you want a non ms browser.

Using netscape or mozilla would make no difference. You have IE installed on your computer because it is integrated into windows, so you would still be under attack from it.

Bah, to hell with your logic!!! I hate the fact that I can't get rid of that beast. I mean hell, I even tried deleting all of the I.E. files once. That didn't even work.

The reason why you cant get rid of it is because windows explorer runs off it too... So if you uninstall parts of IE then you uninstall parts of WE as well. Or atleast you uninstall some .hs/.libs...
