Is it really so hard?
This is slightly maddening. So CERT Vulnerability 713878 (which is now the second-most pointed to result when you Google “CERT Vulnerability”) says that IE really isn’t such a clever product to use.
So what do we find? An article by Paul Boutin offering to “virus-proof your PC in 20 minutes” which also notes you can easily drop $100 on useless anti-spyware and anti-adware, and that AV stuff isn’t so hot either.
But the advice does not include the simplest one: just stop using IE. Get Mozilla or Firefox (which is just the browser) and use that. Straight away, your life will improve - guaranteed. You’ll even be web-standards compliant.
