German government urges public to stop using Internet Explorer
Simply switching to another browser isn't a panacea; Chrome, Firefox, and Opera all have the benefit (currently) of not commanding the same market share as IE except for recently. If IE stays behind Chrome for a while (and if other browsers' share keeps increasing), these other browsers will be targeted more, as it would be more economically worthwhile. While they are an improvement over IE in the security department, it will nevertheless be interesting to see if malware authors can have success against Chrome, Firefox, and company.
