A recent study done by ScanIT (an Internet security consultancy) has shown that Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE) has been found to be unsafe 98% of the time. This comes to be as no surprise. The lack of support and seriousness of security by Microsoft has lead IE down the path of a useless browser. I’ve fixed endless systems due to the result of IE. I’m not saying other web browser agents are perfect but it’s the approach to security and designing the web browser agent for the user to have control instead of the application having the control. Who knows the accuracy of this report done by ScanIT but this still proves a point how dangerous IE is. Which ever side you are on the study is an interesting read.
