The Cure Is In The Problem

I'm not all for locking down the Internet completely in the workplace, but we have put Firefox on many machines here where I work and have run Enterprise Spysweeper scans on the entire network, and out of all the machines (over 200), the ONLY ones that come up clean every time are the ones with Firefox. The ones with IE still come up infected.

Yes, I know some people are going to scream "But aren't they going to develop Spyware for Firefox in the future as the article this week stated?"

Yes, Spyware is probably being developed for Firefox, but once the vulnerability is discovered in the open source community it will be closed for the simple fact that the majority of the Firefox community has switched over for the convenience of zero spyware/adware and no pop-ups.
