If you buy a car and don't know how to drive is the car makers fault?

The reason other bowser haven't had as many issues( and FF has had issues by the way ) is because hackers and conmen aren't going to waste time on something very few people use. Trust me if FF was used by 50% of the people and IE was used by the other 50% both would have the SAME amount of issues.

Fact is if your girldfrien and family would use a firewall, anti-virus and anti-spyware tolls they wouldn't have any issues no matter which browswer they used. But unfortunately most peole just use the free 30 day( or 90 whichever ) anti-virus subscription that comes with their computer and are too cheap to pony up the $30 once the subsciption is over then wonder why their computers are infected.
nice!

just to add up, i would give them some simple instructions to run anti-spyware programs on a weekly basis to prevent attacks and infections. it would make life for someone much more easier.
