EDIT:   I must admit, I didn't read the "details" here until after I posted this [and updated my Opera].     The "details" are laughable!

Yes, but the Devil is in the "details!"

At least I'm back to one secure browser - I worry about "unspecified errors" the most: better the devil you know!

Joe, one secure browswer --- presumably the updated Opera --- because you're using Foxit instead of Abobe Reader???

[for adobe users, ALL browsers are vulnerable]

[joe53]

ky:

Yes. I use Foxit only.

IE8 still unpatched/insecure due to:

Firefox 3.6.x still unpatched/insecure due to:

Opera is my only secure browser, if you believe Secunia.

[sigh] I refuse to lose sleep over all this, and if you happened to see the replay of CNBC's "Big Brother/Big Business" last night (which is a few years old), there's a lot more we can lose sleep over. I don't think security/privacy is getting any better -- especially with today's social networking. emoticon.Indifferent.title

Not losing any sleep over this... simply reporting the facts... "Just the facts, ma'am"

In the words of Alfred E. Neuman: "What - me worry?" (I still use IE8)
