The Windows client uses IE to deliver ads (regardless of your default browser). Should we be worried?

That's not a bug. The downloadable version embeds IE for pop-ups and other windows that go to web, even if your default browser is something else.
See this thread for more detailed explanations from Uday and Fred:

Diana, I don't think you got the context of the question. Right now there's a bug in all IE versions that lets anyone do anything on your computer if you use them (only a slight exaggeration, TBH).
The question is, since BBO uses IE for ads, should users be worried that this bug can be used to control their computer.
