only if your daft enough to use IE, when there are other better free browsers out there that don't keep hidden records of your surfing like IE does or have such huge security holes in them :-

Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable | Mozilla Europe

Opera Browser | Faster & safer Internet | Free Download

Google Chrome - Download a new browser

it appears so

it would be interesting to know if MS owned the company doing the report

plenty of other browsers out there, which also dont spy on there users like IE does

This isn't exactly News is it,I mean I thought by now everyone knew that IE had more holes in it than Swiss cheese
Been using Firefox and Safari for years but recently switched to Google Chrome which is my fave so far

Well, I'm now running Google Chrome on Vista, but the text isn't as clear as with IE, like it's a lower resolution or something. Is that normal?

Don't panic. The fix will be here tomorrow. If Safari and Firefox got as much hackers attention as IE does, they would be pulled to shreads in days.

Nothing is safe....just exercise caution and the issues are mitigated.
