  2. Re:But you still need IE. on IE Vulnerable to Cross-Browser Spyware Attack · · Score: 1

    Nice practice, I agree, to which I am trying to follow to :)

    And just to be sure and safe, I recently prohibited access through our company gateway proxy to any site with any browser except Firefox. With the exception of windowsupdate, officeupdate and some other flawed, but trusted sites, of course.

    Works like a charm, so far...
