  • Internet Explorer can control the speed of your fans? BOLLOCKS! The software is running on Windows which cannot interact with hardware!

  • IE is intergreated with the file system which is intergrated within the NT kernal which accses NTSC which talks with the BIOS

  • once again, is there ANY proof that ANYTHING through active x can ruin hardware?

  • Im reposting this because you never replied to this one

    That is no different from any other windows virus, if a virus gets on your drive, of course it has access to your filing system, but i still highly dought you can ruin any piece of hardware (with the exception of harddrive due to everyday use) with active x. sam, you have still shown me no proof.

  • That's why I'm on Ubuntu Linux 10.10

  • haha psh i dont have to worry :P i use ubuntu hahahaha

  • This is kinda true, ALTHOUGH, a virus can come via ANY browser and infect the filesystem as well.

  • You are running Windows vista on 504MB RAM with Intel Celeron 1.73Ghz and you are saying because of IE7 its slowing down your PC. Hell! Looks fake

  • Safari forever !!!!!

  • I really do not care what I use. Internet Explorer is ok. The thing I do not like about Macs, is if I go to IGN to go on a video or watch a conference I cannot.

  • google chrome rocks

  • i use firefox

  • Bullshit. Internet Explorer is not going to harm a PC's hardware. I like Firefox, but I can tell you that it isn't a whole lot more secure than Internet Explorer. It all boils down to what you do on the internet, and whether or not you know how to use your PC properly and browse the web safely.
