I'm such a geek. I tried to stop using Internet Explorer a long time ago, but I've been forced to switch it on every so often. These articles just established why I made a good move. Of course, I don't have as much sensitive information stored on my computer as some other people have, but still... I'm selfish with my stuff. In any case, it's just too easy for somebody to wreak havoc on your computer if you use IE. You can argue that since you don't necessarily have any data on your computer worth hacking for, but the fact is that there are too many crackers out there who just pick random targets.
Anyway, I don't have time for this now. I'm supposed to be elsewhere. I'm out.
