So I can use firefox to pay my credit card later? I'm likeing it more and more.
I can almost see agissi's and acid's points(if you totally disregard the fact that you have no way of knowin which sites are infected), but using IE is becoming akin to using day-glo skins in a deathmatch- why make yourself more of a target? There is daring and then there is stoopid...
 
US Government warns against Internet Explorer

THE US GOVERNMENT has sent out a warning out to internet users through its Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), pleading users to stop using Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

Following a malware attack last week which targeted a known flaw in IE, like so many other attacks, the US-CERT recommended using alternative browsers thanks to their increased security. Microsoft is hurriedly trying to increase IE's security with the Windows XP Service Pack 2, but it's not fast enough for many.

In a vulnerability note released by US-CERT, it says "there are a number of significant vulnerabilities in technologies relating to the IE domain" and that "it is possible to reduce exposure to these vulnerabilities by using a different web browser." Well, they're right. The latest "extremely critical" IE bug has still not been patched by Microsoft. µ

Internet Exploder will harm your machine

And to the point of how I know what sites are infected or not - It comes naturally, hence im clean to date :)
