Security should be the most important aspect when considering which browser to use, after all you don't want your PC infested with spyware and viruses that will screw up your PC and could lead to at the worst, identity theft.

IE 7's security vulnerabilities are 100% unpatched and will be at least until Dec 12 (Microsoft issues security patches on the second Tuesday of every month)
