It's part of the equation. May not be the biggest part, but it is a factor. Based on everyones feedback, I would say the following kills IE's security: 1) Features 2) Features 3) ActiveX / Active Scripting 4) It's marriage with the OS 5) It's market share 6) It's marriage with so many other MS applications Yes, from a security point of view, this is very bad. Fundamentally, Microsoft is in trouble with IE and security. Who the hell would be able to secure a web browser with so much integration and features? The only hope in hell anyone would have securing IE, is by removing the list crap list above. ...D _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
