Do you think IE is secure?
|
I did a post about this subject (now in the forum archives). Gives you a website to test the security of your browser. Mozilla comes up with no security holes, while IE currently has two medium risk holes and that's if you've still updated your windows.
These holes take advantage of javascript bugs in the IE code to allow java applets on web sites to contain malicious code. Currently there is a trojan going around on a particular java applet banner ad (I got caught out with this while using IE) and it sits in your temporary internet files. Not even Norton have a proper fix for this yet, although I haven't checked their site for a couple of weeks.
