show me machine that is using IE and went to same sites and ended with same results and i dunno..... i might change my sig?
Hehe, I just did a fresh install over the weekend and forgot to disconnect my router. Needles to say, right on the first boot I cought a couple of viruses, ad's etc., including BackOrifice even. That before even starting a single program! So I disconnected the router and started over with a clean format...
It's not only IE, it's Windows itself being nothing but a huge security hole. You NEED to install a good antivirus proggie, a good SW-firewall (despite the HW-firewall), AdAware and immunize with Spybot prior to going online or you're f***ed up. And of course, use Firefox or Opera because despite all this protection, IE will still get you some headache.
