Indeed. Most often, based on what I've heard, their advice will turn
out to be to toss your reasonably secure modern WWW-compatible
browser, and "upgrade" (as they laughably put it) to MSIE.

The classic example I've heard of was a German online savings bank web
site, which stated to the hapless customer that it only worked when
javascript was enabled, and offered a link to the security advice from
the German banking industry - which recommended having javascript
*disabled* when using banking websites.
