ok thanks for the list will go through em. And yes i used IE for 2 hours yesterday , normally using Firefox now, what an utter bastard. Anyways we live n learn.

why not just check out www.apple.com ?

Because their stuff is too expensive.

I tell you what you do, you spend the equivalent amount of money on apple hardware and shares and within the next 18 month you'll have gotten your powerbook for free.

I use spybot and hsremove also. They are pretty good. Spyware blaster is also running on my comp

What kind of protection are you running? Between AVG anti-virus and ZoneAlarrm I've remained clean for years... My ISP strips worms before they ever hit my inbox so that is a big help:thumbsup

I use spyware blaster, blocks out all spyware. :)

Upgrade your i.e. , Its twice as secure and 3 times as functional as any other browser around.

Changing from a cadillac with broken windows ( i.e. )

To a vw bug with no steering wheel ( firefox ) doesn't make much sense :)

You get what you pay for, pure quality

Rididculous!!! The VW Bug has been officially pimped by Mr. Xzibit :321GFY
If you don't want to use Firefox you should use Opera, but don't use IE anymore. It will never be secure no matter how many updates you'll install.

I.E. is the most secure browser right now PERIOD..

Firefox barely works so what is the point, Opera has more holes than i.e. does and is almost as useless as firefox..

Stupid people wont learn by simply switching browsers..

I have not had any spyware , i.e. problems in over 2 years.. why would i possibly change to a shittier browser

This has to be a joke or you are just a ms fanboy. Such shit as browser hijacking only works with ie, annoying pop-ups and nice activex-scripts downloading malicious code only works with ie!
Even if it is up-to-date
