FireFox, get a copy!

Get it here: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/. It's faster by far. Give it a try.

correct, they have found one hole that i've heard about in it, but thats practically nonexsistant compared to IE. If one day firefox becomes more popular then IE more holes will be found but it doesn't use things like activex that make it easier for spyware to install.

Yes they found a hole, but first, Windows is somehow responsible for it, because both MSN Messenger and MS Word are vulnerable too.

And Firefox got its patch in 24 hours, the patch is very easy to install.

No patches for MSN Messenger and MS Word right now, and SP2 which is supposed to fix the whole issue is still beta and available only for Windows XP.
