Wow. Ignoring the issue that IE6 will soon be EOL (finally), and ignoring how bad it is at handling anything even remotely modern, your workstation must be a haven for virii, spyware and malware... IE6 has just about the worst security track record out there, at least on the desktop anyway. If you must have IE6 for whatever reason, stick it on Windows installed on a VM and upgrade your main workstation browser to something more recent. At least a VM can be backed up at a known-good point and if^H^Hwhen it gets compromised it can be deleted easily and replaced with your backup.
