In what way people protect?
« on: October 03, 2006, 08:14:42 AM »
Hi malware fighters,

Regarding the question. How to protect against the recent IE holes, 250 Dutch  in a poll answered:


58,2%   Do not need it, do not use IE
13,5%   Through fully patched AV software
7,2%    I do not visit insecure sites
6,4%    Not, too much trouble to bother
4,8%    In another way, ...
3,6%    Through IDS or IPS
3,2%    Temporarily use another browser
1,6%    Install the unofficial patch(es)
1,6%    Change IE and Windows settings
              (source security.nl)

Well take your conclusions, folks,

Judging by the replies in this survey, they must not have been average computer users.  ;D
