Firefox is good...have you cleaned your PC since you found the viruses that you picked up before?



Virus/Spyware Removal Instructions:

Download, install, and update antivirus and antispyware programs (found below). Turn off System Restore off (Right click My Computer, to Properties, go the Restore tab, check the box to Disable system restore). Reboot into Safe Mode (pressing F8 on power up). Run the installed antivirus/spyware. After you have verified they are removed turn System Restore on (uncheck the box) and make sure all of your Windows Updates are completed.

PC Cleanup and Maintenance

There are a few things that should be routinely done to your PC to maintain it, I typically recommend at least once a month depending on your usage. These things include (but are not limited to):

Perform Microsoft updates (they are released on the second Tuesday of every month). Be sure to click on Custom not Express.

For security you need to have good and updated security programs for anti-virus and for anti-spyware/malware for if you don't then no matter what browser you have, you're going to get stung. As for browsers, I use Maxthon, free from maxthon.com or google for it for other download sites. It is faster than Firefox, offers popup blocker, better tab management and control, etc. Best to you...

firefox 3 is pretty good, I guess.



Still some sites it says you need to install flash which I know I have... I think they're still working out the bugs. Opera is popular.

Lynx - very fast, very safe.



Firefox is also fast - unless you have a really slow internet connection. Its way faster than IE for starters:

you picking up viruses doesnt depend on your browser...

just get an anti virus program with a firewall.
