Explain. And no "Because it is." elitist bull. Sorry if it seems like a flame, but the attitude of 80% of those who've found their way on to the internets is starting to irritate me.
You are only as secure as you allow yourself to be. You can use Firefox, Trillian, Apple OSX and all that junk, but in the end an intelligent user is going to be much safer behind IE than some fool with Firefox who clicks every ad and downloads every file without a second's thought. And there are people who do that, hence the continued existence of chainmails and MSN viruses (Equivalents can be found for Trillian, Pidgin and whatnot, but nobody bothers. Either the people who make them don't think there's enough users for it to be worth it, or they figure they're suffering enough already.)
