Of course if you visit malicious, pornographic or

Why are you thinking so if you think, that IE is secure?

I never said IE is 'secure'. I have said many times that no browser is 'secure'. If you go to bad places the odds
are higher that bad things will happen. This has nothing to do with the browser you are using. If you download
some warez and it trashes your computer is that your browser's fault? In addition IE's default security settings
are far from ideal. This doesn't mean that it cannot be configured to be much more 'secure'.
