I thought it was known for some time that the safest way to browse the internet these days was with a standard user account on win 7 x64 and IE8 or 9 🙂

That setup blocks 90-95% of malware and an antivirus/hids will handle the rest.

I would still rather use tinfoil and shrink wrap before I use IE.

funny, for the longest while I wouldn't use anything BUT ie, but once I got used to chrome it seems I don't want to switch back even though I know I'd like it better

which proves the point I have always made, we all think the browser we are using is better then the other browsers no matter what anyone says

I am going to go back to ie as soon as possible, thanks for the post
