[nfbcs] NVDA and IE find

[Joe Orozco]

The only security weakness I've found in Internet Explorer as compared to
Firefox is that the latter did a much better job at stopping rogue programs
from penetrating my computer.  Mind you, this was only at one gaming web
site, and even having experienced this, I continue to use Internet Explorer
as my primary browser.  There are more interesting features on Firefox, but
I do not find all of them accessible, including the Favorites menu.  I may
change my tune when IE 9 rolls out with no support for Windows XP.

Can you please explain to me how "you" think it is not secure?

I ask this because I am a technology trainer and consultant for 
several state governmental agencies and we use I.E 8, and we 
don't find it to be a problem. Something tells me you are going 
more by what you here and less by what you really know.

I am sitting here wondering if this is a fashion statement or 
if there is any real substance to it.
