    In the unlikely event I actually use an internet browser in winblows... which one is most secure? (ie. least likely to randomly download cookies, malware, and viruses without asking)

    Basicly anything netscaped based.

    Anything IE based is going to leave you wide open.

    I use Firefox, but Opera is more secure (if only because it's a smaller target).

    Opera for porn, Firefox for normal use, IE for Windows Update.

    That's a little odd. Any reason why you use Opera for porn?
