I should clarify a couple things.

1. That doesn't really matter that much anymore, the common factor tends to be vulnerabilities in Flash (rogue Flash ads).
That's pretty much been the case since IE 7, and it's not browser-dependent.
That's what makes it so much more severe.

2. I'm not saying that you're accusing me of anything.
I'm saying that trusting Internet Explorer to just be both up-to-date and secure has mindnumbingly disastrous consequences.
I uploaded the file so that people who might be attacked by rogue ads wouldn't have to worry about them.
So, yes, I'm a little pissed off that I basically just got steamrolled in the rush to a "bad site".
To be fair, though, you probably just missed the upload.
That hurts me more than it angers me, because it feels like I just did all that for nothing.
