bunch of crap I hear all the time. I use firefox and IE6 together everyday without antivirus running and not behind a router. I see all the crazies with thier sniffing and maybe a few zombied systems on my own network. I use a low rated firewall with custom rules, group policy(custom), and only necessary services. I update my pc once every 4 months maybe and I check for a new version of firefox every month or two. I use hotmail and I am signed up at many sites. I have been like this for years with no trouble for at least 4 years.
I actively pursue these so called exploits and test my system against them. Maybe you all should learn how to use your computers before you go online. Hardening from inside will protect your pc and your info if you take the effort to learn. (Bunch of puppets)

@jun – Good question. As long as you use IE only for testing purposes and not for browsing, then it’s okay. Your computer becomes vulnerable when you browse a malicious site using IE.

what if you use the IE tab in Firefox? For testing of your site…

You had me sweating for a minute. I use firefox exclusively although I do have IE installed on my computer.
