Simple.  Stop using them.

Too harsh?  Well, it's that, or live with the security problems IE keeps
cropping up with.

Kind of a crappy toss-up.  I'm glad that I realized IE was a pile of crap
back in 1996 when I was first doing web development.  Not even counting the
security insanity, I look at it today (running WinXP for work; hadn't
used Windows since circa 1998 on a friend's PC), I haven't really seen any
major leaps in stability, usability, or sanity.

Thank HEAVENS for the likes of Linux and Mozilla.  I can't afford a Mac. :^P
