Websites that exploit security issues in Internet Explorer can not initiate any transaction. IE isn't listening for anything. It's not even running. It's only when you visit a malicious website that the websites can run exploits.but if explorer isn't secure then doesnt just still having it on there leave a window for someone to gain access they cant get through chrome or firefox?
If, for example, you typo a popular website, let's say instead of cnn.com, you go to cmm.com, if someone has that domain registered, you're telling IE to request the content for that website. IE then does just about anything the source code tells it to do. If whoever programmed that website knows a way to trick IE in to downloading and running something it shouldn't, then that's your problem right there.
If it's a common problem, might as well just throw IE in Red Alert mode and call it a day.
