Interesting...although, as was pointed out, switching browsers could expose one to other risks.

I use IE for Windows Updates...that's it. Firefox and Google Chrome are my babies!

Why? I use Firefox, and I get Windows Updates without ever using IE.

[Catty1]

I use Firefox too. Your update notifications come from Microsoft. If you want to check for updates, only IE will go to the site and search.

That's what I meant.

I had no idea! I've often thought I should just delete IE, since I don't use it.

Thanks!

LOL - TRY and delete IE! You may go back to version 6 or earlier (!!!!) but it will never leave...lol.
