Internet Explorer (IE) has many possible exploits. It is also generally targeted by malware significantly more than other internet browsers, as it is the single most used browser in existance. I reccomend switching to a more secure, customizable, easy to use browser such as Mozilla Firefox, Opera or Safari (Now compatible with windows. Deleting IE however, is not advised as some applications may require it to run properly.

@Ocelot152 U suck, it lost 5 points in acid3 due to an update(it has the same score as nintendo 3ds browser lol), and scores 62 out of 89 points in html5 test.

Compare that to 306 points out of 450 in firefox 6....also, cant display most of html5 correctly....

See, this is why I'm so glad I switched from IE to Firefox. Not only does Firefox run better and rarely crashes, but it's not practically Swiss cheese from all the security holes...

I am a hobby web designer and I say: IE sucks.

Internet Exploder has dangerous security holes (ActiveX) an doesn't support web standards correctly (W3C).

I use Firefox and Opera.

i Cant Believe IE has all these Security Holes,thats always been the browser ive used since ive always used Windows....to be honest i really wasnt aware of the Magnitude of these Security issues until just a few Days ago... i use Firefox or Chrome now and will probably continue to do so for a long time...both are Safer and much Faster,however i Hope IE and Microsoft can get these Problems fixed.
