    All I see on the links I click are:
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Solution:
    Disable Active Scripting.

    <b>Use another product.</b><!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->Such as MyIE2, or does that have the same vulnerability?

    <a href='http://www.safecenter.net/UMBRELLAWEBV4/ie_unpatched/' target='_blank'>Here</a> is a list of the most recent <b>unpatched</b> IE security vulnerabilities.

    As for MyIE2, since it uses the IE engine, it has most, if not every one of the vulnerabilities that IE has. Even the US Federal Government recommends against using IE. Search <a href='http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/html/search' target='_blank'>here</a> for "internet explorer" and you will get hundreds of vulnerabilities. That is the US Federal Government's Computer Emergency Response Team website btw. <a href='http://www.internetnews.com/security/article.php/3374931' target='_blank'>Here</a> is another article quoting that same department explicitly recommending against using IE (anything that uses the IE engine would qualify as "IE").
