tell the techs that due to ie's vulnerabilities it is hindering your work. that is why you opt to use firefox which is freeware to help with work. no pop-ups and wastes less resources.

I changed all the computers at my parent's house and friend's computers to firefox. I'll never go back to IE. It's rock solid, and I haven't had anything show up on my computer since installing it.

thats why you use portable firefox my friend.
I use it at work all the time and I never have issues. it runs off my usb flash drive and the cookies and my history gets stored all on the flash drive. noone knows what I'm up to. the tech that runs the server doesn't know jack about checking stuff so I'm all good.
