This isn't required by the site. I suggest you
run a thorough spyware and
antivirus check again. And stop using IE for anything as far as
possible.
I would like to point your attention to "such as".
This is a wild guess but I remember my MSIE to rely on external plug-ins to display png
files properly. This would fit under the MSIE-question above.
Oops, you and Brion Vibber seem to be right!
Again Bill Gates pulled one over on me...
Brion: As regards installing other browsers:
I have always been a big Netscape fan, but
when MSIE had won the browser battle (for
the time being) I stopped torturing myself
after a while and started using IE as the
default browser under Windows. I have a lot
of browsers installed under Windows (Mozilla,
Netscape, Opera) and under Linux (KDE and
Mozilla and probably more).
When I write code myself I try to make it as
simple and cross-browser usable as possible
but I don't like wasting time seeing sites
other than intended just because the writers
don't use standards.
And if I had the illusion that I could change
the world by using a more open source browser
I certainly would...
