Good Points: Simple to use for beginners.
Bad Points: Hardly any features. Many security problems. Too many plug-ins to get when you want to access certain websites.
General comments: Microsoft Internet Explorer has been providing Internet Explorer 6 for years now, and I have to say that it has truly been proven to be the very worst browser going!
Let's chat about its features. For starters I don't know what's going on with it's security - it's got a really bad reputation in that criteria. Not only does it have serious problems with cookies, but using Internet Explorer keeps any open ports on your computer very prone to attack... even with a firewall!
It's a shame that so many programs rely on Internet Explorer to operate properly! For example, a software program I know that is used on a global scale is MSN Messenger . This is a product of MSN, and in turn, Microsoft (who created Internet Explorer 6). In this regard, I urge all users of MSN Messenger to keep a close eye on their open ports and try their hardest to use another browser - a more secure one - to browse the web.
So, what do I recommend rather than Internet Explorer? Basically ANYTHING WILL DO! My personal favourites, however, are the AOL9.0 interactive browser (for AOL users only) and the latest Mozilla Firefox browser.
Windows Vista is bringing the birth of Internet Explorer 7 in the near future. Lets see how that differs!!!

Microsoft Internet Explorer is a very bad browser, many better browsers out there.. e.g. Firefox.
