The program that millions of average joes are issued with windows XP every day. This program is flawed by endless amounts of security issues and lack of adequate updates. The only good function of the existance of this program is that it distracts advertising agencies. They concentrate on the computer illiterate Internet Explorer users so that more experienced computer users don't have to deal with ads because they use less prominent, faster, and more useful free browsing applications such as Mozilla FireFox.

Easily the worst modern web browser in current existence, and quite possibly one of the worst non-malware programs ever designed for any version of the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Internet Explorer is a web browser created and "maintained" by Microsoft. It is infamous for having a ridiculously large amount of security holes -- many of them being pathetically easy to execute and often resulting from sloppy, if not entirely incorrect, code -- as well as extremely poor web standards support. Internet Explorer is effectively delaying, if not actively resisting, the evolution and improvement of the entire Internet.

The only reason to use Internet Explorer is to download Mozilla Firefox, Opera, or Google Chrome.

A waste of hard disk space with three main functions:
1)Download viruses/spyware/adware/worms/windows updates/unwanted porn/glitches/
2)Download Firefox
3)Uploading all of your private information and getting hijacked by everything it downloads.
It seems to be a lot better at the first than the latter.
If internet explorer wasn't integrated into windows, i would delete it.

The worst thing to ever happen to the internet. If the internet was music, Internet Explorer would be James Blunt.
