Compared to firefox, I think IE is terrible for security.

Using IE I've had malicious pop ups and viruses that have got in. Using firefox I've had....nothing.

Hackers know that most uneducated computer users use IE cos that's what the computer arrives with. That makes them easy targets. They don't know anything about updates or pop ups or even firefox. That alone makes FF the much better bet.
