Firefox has had its own major security holes, that have been patched too. You just don't hear much about them, cause Firefox is sitll a minority. IE had some nasty holes, which were patched, but lots of people didn't actually patch them.. Since the majority of users are IE users, and the tons of them were running unpatched vers, alot of people got caught in various exploits, usually doing something stupid. IOW, IE isn't as bad as people think it is. Especially with the latest updates. Once IE brings out new window AND tabbed browsing functionaily like how FireFox provides, I'm switching back.

Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 38 Joined: 13-November 05 From: Apex, NC Member No.: 967	The last two times I have logged in to this site from my work computer, Virus Scan has picked up a JS/Wonka virus. I am about as computer savvy as the Pope is Casanova, so I was hoping someone can tell me what this means and perhaps if I have anything to worry about since my home computer software (AVG) detected nothing. Thanks?
