Hi, I would like your advice about security aspects, concerning IE (e.g 5.5) vs Netscape Communicator (e.g 4.7x).
I *very often* heard problems with IE, and Outlook. But Microsoft provides patches (for instance, a patch for Outlook to block dangerous attachments), and permits to control the surf (web site access, allow or not downloading,...) with IE. At the opposite, I never (since version 4.77) heard about security problem for Netscape Communicator. But to my knowledge, there is no embedded mechanism of protection in this browser. So I'm wondering what is the best (safest) browser, concerning security. Same thing for mail client (outlook vs messenger)... For the moment, I think IE is safer (due to patches, and ability to control). If you have another opinion, please tell it me. Thanks for advance. -- Gilles POIRET
