Dept of Homeland Security says"dont use explorer."

Yes, but Active X becomes optional in Mozilla. Even with high security settings in IE, it may not be enough to shut ActiveX completely. Also, you get an annoying warning message when you do block activeX. Plus the numerous other random vulerabilities that aren't related to ActiveX. Even if Mozilla or whatever should be compormised, it is not as big as a deal because they are not integrated into Windows like Internet Explorer is. If Internet Explorer becomes compormised, your entire operating system is at risk. You could reinstall Windows... but reinstalling a browser is much easier.

Hopefully, MS wil come around to fix these troubles, although there will probaly be 1000 more when they finish.
