IE & firefox...?ies

You can have several browsers on your computer at one time and they will run just fine.

According to the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team you should not use IE:

"There are a number of significant vulnerabilities in technologies related to the IE domain/zone...It is possible to reduce exposure to these vulnerabilities by using a different web browser"

http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/713878

IE uses Active X, here is what Microsoft says about it:

"An ActiveX control can be an extremely insecure way to provide a feature...From the moment a user downloads an ActiveX control, the control may be vulnerable to attack"

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/defaul...

(Firefox by default doesn't have Active X at all)

For years IE has had a hole in it that they have never bothered to fix; with this hole many people had had their ID stolen:

No browser is perfect; just keep in mind that IE has the worst record of them all. Here is IE, Firefox and Opera side by side:
