Have any of these facts produce a realistic response to the size of the problem? Errr, no!

To say that they are only attacked because they are the biggest target overlooks that they are such an easy target because there are so many holes that they do nothing about at anything above an apparent crawl.

Yes the biggest test of browsers like Firefox lies ahead but you really can only base these things on the evidence and the evidence at the moment tells you that you are at a MUCH higher risk if you use Internet Explorer or Outlook (or in fact Windows of any kind).
