Yes, I did notice that too. I find it somewhat odd, that the browser is not 
secure in itself.

It seems, that in Microsoft's point of view, security needs to be something 
complex and patchy. No such simple solution as simply upgrading software to a 
version which is not vulnerable.

I don't get it. Isn't this whole requirement of a third-party antivirus suite, 
firewall and spyware-remover a big mess and a waste of resources?

Regards, Anders Breindahl.
