Top Tech News : Solving Your Annoying Internet Explorer Troubles

" Internet Explorer is likely the most popular web browser around, but users have numerous gripes, such as fixing settings to comfortable levels and securing passwords and usernames. Third-party tools such as the free IE New Window Maximizer make it easy to set your options over how IE launches, including the ability to close pop-ups. " ~ Jay Dougherty

Although I would state that it is the most popular only because it comes on every Windows machine, that might seem redundant. Customizing it could prove to better secure your system and also make your life easier as far as computing. Personalizing/Customizing is a big part of making your computer easier to use and more like the way you need it to work.
Personally I choose to use Firefox, but in the Securing Desktops course I took I was told it might be better to just use Internet Explorer. Let me explain. The reasoning behind this is kinda simplistic, but complex in it's own way. While using a different browser which is secure itself might be a good thing, it might inadvertently open holes in your system as well. While I do not agree with this logic, I do however, take it under advisement.
