I'm not sure, but the zones concept has worked well in real life for
me.

But You could also look at how many patches have been done in the last
two years for both IE and e.g. firefox? Way too many for both of them,
if You ask me.

Not if You set the internet zone at the highest security level.

This might amuse you all.
It wasn't a virus at all, but I had been using a Beta IE7 and when I
upgraded to XP Professional, it cause IE6 to crash. It is now sorted.

True. But you are better off not using IE than using it....

NOT! Would you go to some web site download an executable and run it? Then
why do you use ActiveX???
