One EFnet member mentioned that FireFox and Opera has same problem as well (the news talked about it in German but I was puzzled why our news didn't mention anything about it yet..)
I personally like to use IE because of compitability issues, large percentage of these sites are IE-compatibility. Don't believe me? Check at W3C site for the facts. There are three communities/sites that I usually hang around aren't Opera or FireFox-compatibility so I have no choice but use IE.
However I lately order anything like DVDs at Amazon thru FireFox, not IE because of that "virus".
Ah, speaking of popups and such, I used Zone Alarm Pro to do the job. I didn't have any problem with popups for almost two years with ZAP so I didn't see any problem with using IE really... (beside that flaws Microsoft have in IE).
