I've been downloading the patches for a year and have Norton AV. Is
Netscape still safer than IE? I prefer to use IE because I'm used to
it.

I read the Wired cover story on the Firefox creator and he said he got
a nasty virus thing (through IE) that made his computer send tons of
spam but it didn't mention the details and it didn't say if Netscape
wouldn't have done the same thing.
