Microsoft Internet Exploiter is a malicious form of malware which is designed to slow down computer performance and frustrate users. Due to swiss cheese-like security, it is susceptible to raep by nearly every exploit imaginable. In less than 5 minutes, the average IE installation will Fail as it becomes saturated with worms, unwanted tool bars, and AIDS.

No seriously .. its very very fucking bad... the worst thing ever ever.

However, it is an adequate tool for downloading Chrome, Firefox, Opera or Netscape

Virus or not a Virus?

Though it appears to spread like a virus, it lacks the small size and stealthy behavior which is commonly associated with viruses. Furthermore, the bulk of its propagation happens not through the internets but through the real world where monopoly was used to pre-load it onto computers and hide it on Windows operating system disks; a practice which got Microsoft's ass sued by... well, basically by everyone.

Internet Explorer will eat your children, no questions asked.

Also if JavaScript is enabled, any website can hack your computer with things like making Over 9,000 pop up windows. Or disabling mouse buttons and keyboard buttons so when you click them they don't work and it says, "Don't steal my pictures" -- if the latter ever happens you just got hacked. As a public service, you must turn JavaScript off and then steal every one of the pictures from sites like this. (Or you could always highlight it and press CTRL+C, to save you the trouble of finding where the option is in Internet Explorer's crappy layout)
