Such spamming of other posters threads is neither considerate, helpful, nor
appreciated. And...your comment is actually a very soft illusion on your
part.
Most importantly, and one many people seem to forget, or ignore, is the fact
that, not every user in the world has the *choice* of which browser they can
use, or to what extent it can be secured. Company IT and Administrators
have the last word as to what programs can be used and the level of
security. While most are very competent, it is a fact that many IT and
Administrators are not much smarter than their users when it comes to
program use and how to set Internet and server security period.
It is also a fact that, absolutely NO browser is totally without
vulnerabilities of some sort that can be violated. Not with the extremely
high level of technological abilities of those who are creating the type of
vicious and damaging viruses and malware being seen at this point, and they
can just as easily figure out a way to attack Mozilla/FireFox, Netscape, or
any other browsers that access the Internet if they choose to do so. You
can bet the farm on that. They are not just out to *get* Microsoft because
they are ticked off at Mr. Gates or have an axe to grind with MS, they are
in it for *huge* profits, and if the other browsers had a larger market
share, they too would be targets of the same type of attacks and become just
as much 'crap.'
Before you take it upon yourself to advise l others what to they should do,
you should be sure you have the facts straight. You should also take a
moment and read the "How to make a good newsgroup post"
http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm for future reference.

Thank you :-)
