Yes, they do have windows update, but once you patch the current hole up another one will be found and put you at risk. The reason for the massive attacks on Internet Explorer is because of it's user base. Most people are ignorant, and have no idea there's an alternative browser to use. They buy a manufactured PC with IE pre installed and use it.

Your online experience will increase greatly if you just stop using IE (no trojans, pop-ups and other intrusive items).

I've been using Mozilla Firefox along with Opera:

I do prefer Firefox over Opera. There are versions of Firefox for Linux, MAC OSX and of course Windows

Windows:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

MAC OS X:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o...9.1-mac.dmg.gz

Linux:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o...staller.tar.gz

Note, there are no security holes, there's a built in pop up stopper, it's Open Source (meaning a lot of nice addons from users) Give it a download and please set it as your default browser.

If you want to go with the extent on users being ignorant you should of mentioned all together that their are other OS's then just Windows that they can use. Hell even different Explorer Shells then using Microsofts Original one. Though I don't think you'd have to give that info for Macintosh or Linux users, they better be smart enough to know that or it would be a sad thing indeed.

I hate to tell you, but Linux has problems too. May be open-source, but it's beginning to become popular enough for people to find holes in the OS.
