Quite a few friend and I switched to the Mozilla Firefox Web Browser.
Firefox looks nice and isn't as quirky as Internet Explorer. The browser supports themes and plugin extentions which makes it really nice on the eyes. The browser also supports tabbed browsing, which is a plus if you hate filling up your start bar.

I'm just writing this to let you know that there is a good alternative to IE out there that seems more secure and is simple to use. Go ahead try it & switch.
