I will never blame Microsoft.

but I'm sorry for Microsoft and I'm hoping that Microsoft will improve security for Microsoft Internet Explorer. However, I will never move to Firefox but don't ask me why. Of course, I don't blog that much over in some websites like in Microsoft. I will always blame an author (who post a message in a blogging website) for including spyware in their post.

In summary:

Do I like Microsoft? 100% yes!
Do I blame users for clicking in the pop-up? Yes.
Do I blame Microsoft for making insecure Internet Explorer? Since Internet Explorer is secure enough for me and I don't visit blogging sites that much, 100% NO!
Do I blame iWebtunes for delivering pop-ups? Yes.
Do I the blog's author for embedding iWebtunes (or more generally, spyware)? Absolutely yes.
Should I switch to Firefox? I don't like Mozilla/Firefox so the answer is "NO!" Once again, Internet Explorer is secure enough for me. Thanks, Microsoft.
