My dad belongs to a computer club. Here is an part of an email he got from one member.
"Microsoft will issue a patch for IE on Tuesday which will fix the program code exploit for all versions of IE and for all versions of Windows. My advice is to be sure to install the patch (Windows Update) on Tuesday or Wednesday. Thenquit using IE forever
and switch to Chrome or Firefox. Hackers will continue to find weaknesses in IE in the future exposing users to exploits."

I switched to Firefox for just that reason THEN my stupid bank revamped their website and will NOT work 100% unless you use IE. :R
I'm on the road 1,500 miles away from a branch bank. I can't deposit, can't transfer etc. They told me to use my cell phone for my banking because their site seems to work from mobile banking. Ya right I will be doing my banking on my open cell phone.
What WAS this well known bank thinking making their online banking only compatible with IE and especially with all the news of compromised sites.
"I" am starting think there is something fishy with all this and the big G has got some fingers in it. Microsoft did announce that the biggest customer they have for XP is banks, government offices, etc. and they can't switch over so Microsoft said they will still continue to patch IE for them. Hmmm.
