Firefox is definitely the way to go. It's getting more popular and is close to 10% of the browser market now. Trouble is if it ever becomes even close to 30-40% of the market then spyware makers will really start to aim at it. That's the real reason it's more secure - it's being used by too few people to really attract the bad guys yet.



If I could only get rid of all this maintenance.

wallybob....you are partly correct but not exactly. Firefox does not allow any ACTIVE X to run and that in itself will eliminate a majority of garbage since these usually need Active X in order to run. Plus if you are behind a hardware firewall then you elminate these issues as well. You need to check out secunia for security info:

http://secunia.com/product/4227/ this is for FF

http://secunia.com/product/11/ this is for IE

FF will get patched much faster than any IE since it is all Open Source code.
