Re: These leaktests aka scaretests are pure crap
Opera is not free, unless you don't mind an adbar you can easily block through Kerio. Otherwise there are open source browsers like Mozilla, and Firefox. Mozilla is a suite with a e-mail client, etc... Firefox is just a pure browser, but its considered beta if you really care. I prefer Firefox, and its been working great for me, however its a bit different so it will take a little bit to get used to from IE.
IE has always had unpatched exploits for it going around, I don't consider it safe for common use unless your willing to disable most, if not all of its features in the name of security. When you restrict too many settings you can't visit many legit websites, but with programs like Firefox you don't have to worry about all of these security exploits trying to install things behind your back so you can leave features enabled without worry. You just need IE for sites that require IE for their proprietary technologies like ActiveX(HacktiveX), and Visual Basic Scripting which are the source of most of their exploits. Basically Windows Update, Office Update, etc...
