Microsoft Internet Explorer 6: Currently, 18 out of 58 Secunia advisories, is marked as "Unpatched" in the Secunia database. = http://secunia.com/product/11/
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5: Currently, 9 out of 49 Secunia advisories, is marked as "Unpatched" in the Secunia database. = http://secunia.com/product/10/
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01: Currently, 8 out of 39 Secunia advisories, is marked as "Unpatched" in the Secunia database. = http://secunia.com/product/9/

Mozilla Firefox 0.x: Currently, 1 out of 10 Secunia advisories, is marked as "Unpatched" in the Secunia database. = http://secunia.com/product/3256/
Mozilla 1.7.x: Currently, 1 out of 4 Secunia advisories, is marked as "Unpatched" in the Secunia database. = http://secunia.com/product/3691/

That's exactly with what i ment by "give a example". I guess this is one of the reasons why i prefer Firefox above IE too, but being able to costumize my browser how i like it is more important to me. I know that security should have higher priority... oh well, it's just a home system and i know what i do :).


But on the other hand:
http://bcheck.scanit.be/bcheck/ on Internet Explorer 6.0 at my own Windows XP system (still on SP1):
The Browser Security Test is finished. Please find the results below:
High Risk Vulnerabilities 0
Medium Risk Vulnerabilities 0
Low Risk Vulnerabilities 0

http://bcheck.scanit.be/bcheck/ on Firefox 0.9.3 at my own Windows XP system:
High Risk Vulnerabilities: 0
Medium Risk Vulnerabilities: 0
Low Risk Vulnerabilities: 0
