c’mon, everyone else is doing it. even the Homeland Security goons are urging you take alternate browser routes. via slashdot, this Washington Post article says:
[The U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), a division of the Department of Homeland Security] recommends that Explorer users consider other browsers that are not affected by the attack, such as Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape and Opera. Mac, Linux and other non-Windows operating systems are immune from this attack. For people who continue to use the Internet Explorer, CERT and Microsoft recommend setting the browser's security settings to "high," but that can impair some browsing functions.
I installed Mozilla on my sister’s computer and Brother-In-Law was very impressed with the unrequested pop-up blocker and tabbed browsing. Sister, however, was not impressed with the Download Manager: “What am I supposed to do with this?” “Nothing.” Thank you Edit -> Preferences.

my only regret with mozilla was not switching sooner. strangely enough, my absolute favorite feature is the bookmark manager. I'm only days from switching my parents to mozilla - i'm tired of having to fix their computer because of some web page they visited "accidentally".
