IE the worst

Over the past few weeks more Internet Explorer vulnerabilities have come to light. Here is advice from Bob Matsuoka, President and founder of Runtime Technologies. I think what he has to say makes a lot of sense. Take it away, Bob.
At the bottom of a recent vulnerability noteposted by the US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) is a chilling paragraph header in the Solutions section: "Use a different web browser" (than IE). This has been our company policy for about four months, ever since our System Administrator, who is no security slouch himself, had his machine infected by some sort of malware that brought it down and necessitated a day-long cleanup. Yes, he had anti-virus software installed, we have a firewall, and his IE security settings were tight. Clearly, however, unless you crank up security to the maximum level -- disabling Active scripting and ActiveX controls in the Local Machine Zone, and also disabling browser helper objects -- IE can not be considered a "safe" browser.
