That may be a little harsh, but as 99% of viruses/trojans out there on the web are targeted at Internet Explorer and are activated by using Internet Explorer, but are harmless (at the moment) if using a different browser.
Have a little read of this article:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7067962.stm - the captchua security stops programs from automatically submitting forms and creating forum accounts.
Most of you will probably wonder why that is a problem - if an automated program creates user accounts on forums, it is generally because they want to post spam or material of an adult nature.
It is dangerous and does have the potential to affect you.
PLEASE GET INTO THE HABIT OF USING AN ALTERNATIVE BROWSER TO IE.
Try different browsers:
http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/products/firefox/ - Firefox
http://www.opera.com/download/ - Opera
