Get the new Firefox browser. Not only is it virtually immune to pop ups, viruses and spyware, it's also significantly faster than Explorer. Best part.........it's free. 
This product gets 7 barrels out of 7 on the WT endorsement scale! http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ It's a small 4 meg download to boot. "Molon labe". Leonidas, King of Sparta, Thermopylae, 480 B.C. |

Dude, Firefox blows netscape away. It's superfast and it has no backdoors at all. Try it, you'll like it.

I've been using it. Most excellent. Keep your Spybot though, becuase cookies are still a small problem. And the fact that I'm sure that AIM is not the only program to also use Explorer(even if Firefox is set as the default), runs spyware(WildTangent for AIM), and gives you pop-ups.

I don't run AIM. I think AOL and everything about it is inherently evil and sucky, lol. "Molon labe". Leonidas, King of Sparta, Thermopylae, 480 B.C. |

Been running Firefox for months now. I've had no pop-up stopper running and I get no pop-ups. I've also run spyware software and it finds nothing. It's awesome. Go Ugly Early ! No body's ugly after 2:00 A.M. |

Eh, I might start using Firefox at home, but I can't use it at work... Certain sites I have to go to for work purposes "require IE 4.0+ or Netscape 6.0+"; damn stone-age b.s. is what it is. “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.” Benjamin Franklin, 1759 |

There once was a time when I thought Microsoft was perfect and invincible. Now I hope everyone switches to a third-party browser to show MS what a piece of crap Explorer is. To be fair, all the spyware, hackers, etc. focus on IE because 95% of folks still use it. If Mozilla got that big it would be overwhelmed too. Most people aren't computer smart enough to know they have an option though. Mozilla rocks. Finally switched after numerous testimonies and reading all the power user directed articles about it... ATTACK!!!!!!! |
