OT: IE vs Firefox

from a security standpoint...

let's say I like to surf p0rn sights and other
generally spyware/virus ladden content (like the
typical luser)

Is mozilla safer?

I have clients (home users) that are hooked on this
stuff, and their machines are wacked - and sure I get
paid to fix it but I'm really getting tired of it.

I'd rather spend my saturday watching football.

Safest setting for the lusers is to set thier proxy to 127.0.0.1

As CBIC once said in microsoft.public.cert.exam.mcse

Its really easy. You just type in the site address with a : in google and
you get hundreds of passwords. About as easy as finding lowdes.

I think Firefox is safer than IE 6.0. Haven't tested IE 7.0's security
features yet. The safest option is simply not to run as Administrator.
