Comments on: IE vs. Firefox: Which is More Vulnerable? http://www.tonybove.com/getoffmicrosoft/blog/?p=12 How to get off, where to get off, and why you should stay off Microsoft, with news and tips on alternatives Sat, 13 Oct 2007 19:07:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.7 by: Blake Handler http://www.tonybove.com/getoffmicrosoft/blog/?p=12#comment-4 Sat, 01 Oct 2005 03:24:32 +0000 http://www.tonybove.com/getoffmicrosoft/blog/?p=12#comment-4 The real "bottom-line" is that everyone needs to be a "smarter surfer" -- there is NO technology that will protect you.
