Explorer in the mid-naughties was the most popular browser and thats why hackers focused on it. Its ironic that as MS has improved its security it has declined in popularity. Their new browser Edge (only supported with Win10) will replace it anyway so you might as well stay with what you have got now. Just keep doing all the updates from MS and stay away from dodgy sites and you should be fine.
