Many American online computer users are unaware that choice of browser affects Internet security, and few switch browsers even when they know the risk, a Norwegian study said Monday.

Isn't any browser at risk ?

Reading between the lines of that report would suggest that Internet explorer is most at risk because it is the most widely used browser.
I am sure that if Opera and Mozilla were as popular, the risks would be the same if not worse.

I used to use Mozilla, but went back to IE a few months ago.
