IE7 on Vista runs in protected mode and is the most secure browser there is because of it. Unless of course you run something like OB1 that doesn't support any scripting at all. Because of your hostile attitude and lack of objectivity I must end our conversation because you are not worth my time and are a nasty bullshitter. I hope others are smart enough to see you for what you really are.

Nonsense. IE by itself is as easy to compromise as ever, and breaking out of the protected mode is trivial[1][2]. > Because of your hostile attitude > and lack of objectivity I must end our conversation because you are not > worth my time and are a nasty bullshitter.

Unless IE stops supporting ActiveX and thus supporting manipulating arbitrary COM objects, it's a security nightmare and not "the most secure browser". ActiveX is a design flaw, and never can be fixed. Yours, VB. -- The file name of an indirect node file is the string "iNode" immediately followed by the link reference converted to decimal text, with no leading zeroes. For example, an indirect node file with link reference 123 would have the name "iNode123". - HFS Plus Volume Format, MacOS X

I use FF with noscipt but nothing can compromise the OS by running IE7 because it runs in protected memory space.

That's wrong. COM offers the possibility for IPC (DCOM, COM+).
