The problem with MyIE2, CrazyBrowser, Avant, and others is that they embed the IE engine in a different frame. Thus, you get many of the features of Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, or Netscape, but you also get all the security holes that come along with IE. Thus when the Federal Goverment warns to move away from IE, they mean all browsers that embed IE.
Outlook and Outlook Express also embed IE, so you should also move to an alternate e-mail program. Thunderbird has already been mentioned. Eudora is another standalone e-mail program. Mozilla, Netscape, and Opera all have their own built in mail programs also.
