end of the day, surely it comes down to the user

I dont think that this is a question that will ever be answered 100%.

IE8 is as secure as any Browser in my opinion, providing you allow all patches etc and you have decent Security System installed. I mainly use Firefox however, as I like the way it saves passwords.

The main problem on the Internet, is the amount of people on it that havent got a clue what they are doing. I recently sorted out a friend of mines computer; this man had run a number of succesful businesses, but didnt even know what a firewall was!

These are the idiots that spread viruses etc.

I agree with both of the above.  Just as a car is only as safe as it's driver, a browser is only as safe as it's user.

talking of that, its my driving test on friday.. avoid the roads :-D

[Simon]

Best of luck!  I'm sure you'll be fine. 

[Clive]

Ha!  I taught you well Sam!  You won't go far wrong if you remember how I drive.

It is just a matter of keeping cool under pressure.  Don't let matters such as a screaming examiner or running pedestrians distract you.

Seriously, best wishes for Friday.  Passing my driving test gave me an enormous sense of achievement and I hope you experience the same elation.

Seconded.
