1-Nearly 80% of people use Internet Explorer, this will lead in more interest from hackers.

2-Firefox has way fewer security issues, it is stripped down by the community (since it is open source) and with the code available to all, more are likely to find bugs and vulnerabilities.

3-There are congress about web security. And in every ones, they stated that IE is NOT secure. This has slightly changes with the comming of IE7, but it still is not as safe as firefox, nor linux, nor mac.
