For one reason or another there are still people using IE6, for example, people still using Win2K where IE8 is not supported. Keep in mind there are other "safer" browser alternatives. The attached PDF contains a list of 458 known vulnerabilities, of which at least 396 are unpatched. After viewing the list, I hope you give some consideration to finding an alternative if you are still an IE6 user.

I do not want to know the 458 reasons but IE8 is surely something which has taken me for surprise. I mean it is worse than IE 6 and 7....I cannot open some of the trusted sites.
