@comcast.net		Use Firefox

Why not just use Firefox, with Adblock, Flashblock and Noscript extensions installed? That takes care of the great majority of security attacks from websites, since they can't really display anything that's dangerous.

Chicago, IL		 Because this is about DNS vulnerabilities and Firefox just like every other program that accesses the internet uses DNS to resolve names to addresses.
