The Register reports CERT recommends anything but IE to avoid the new round of security vulnerabilities for which no patch exists, or will exist any time soon due to the inherent weaknesses in IE’s design.

A statement on the CERT site said: “There are a number of significant vulnerabilities in technologies relating to the IE domain/zone security model, the DHTML object model, MIME type determination, and ActiveX. It is possible to reduce exposure to these vulnerabilities by using a different web browser, especially when browsing untrusted sites.”

If you’re thinking of switching, I highly recommend Opera.
