Do you use Internet Explorer because it came default with your computer? Do you think it is secure because Microsoft supports it? Well, you’re completely wrong! Internet explorer is by far the most vulnerable browser around. People say that “Opera” is the most secure browser around, yet, it may be, but it can still be buggy and very slow. Most private exploits in which are made for Internet explorer are patched within a week, and it seems like almost a month for Opera to get around to patching their vulnerabilities.
I would say Mozilla FireFox is the most secure browser. It runs fast, not very buggy, and IF there is an exploit found in it, it is usually patched within 1-2 days. Mozilla knows what they are doing, compared to Microsoft. They don’t just throw some half-arsed piece of junk together, give it a name, and then distribute it.
Anyways, having a secure browser means keeping your browser and other services updated. Some websites will target your PC, and try to exploit it to your browser related applications. This is why updating is crucial.

I agree about FF, most people use it now and you would expect to be most attacked, but it isn’t – it just works great!
