I tend to use it for all normal browsing where risks are slight and Firefox for everything else and so far have had nothing in the way of malware. I have used IE for a long while and simply prefer it to most other browsers, even Firefox.

Okay...that is nice and all...but why do you feel the need to justify your choice of web browser to us? Do you have an actual question?

Just that IE is often rubbished and some alternative viewpoint might be nice.
