I’ve finally made the move away from Internet Explorer after a recent update of the Malisious Software Removal Tool left my installation extremely unstable. I would browse two or three pages and the thing would quit, prompting me to sent a report to MS, then reboot, rinse and repeat.

All this time I’ve been using IE and I’ve never had a problem with Spyware, Malware, BHO’s, call ‘em what you will. In the end I’m persuaded to switch by a program that’s meant to protect against all this crap. Now that’s Ironic.

So I’m off. For want of a better choice I switched to Firefox. A secondary consideration was that I already use Firefox on my work’s Mac. I’ve got so used to opening stuff in Tabs that it’s now second nature.

Update:
Oh well looky here! Seems the crashing is caused by a b*lloxed patch and my machine is now vulnerable to exploits. How the hell did that get past the testing stage? Thanks, Microsoft! (w*nkers)
