Know anything about Vixens or Kits? You should...

Internet Explorer or Firefox? Definitely Firefox at this time. I use both of them. Malware thrives and lives well on IE6. It's also finding a home on Firefox. Will someone please explain to me exactly what Adblock is supposed to be doing? This is an extension in Firefox you can install that mysteriously shows up on pages and I know it has something to do with blocking popups and also popunders (the dungware people's preferred method of invading privacy in this Mozilla based browser). My ratio of browser use is Firefox 75%: Internet Explorer 25%. Firefox is the default beach house Windows browser. Need a link to Firefox? MajorGeeks has a very fast download. It's listed under "browsers" which is in the 'File' column top, left of their home page under the geekhead. You can also click this button:



If you choose to download Firefox, please be aware there are several plugins, scripts, etc. that are needed to make it see most pages in a fashion akin to Internet Explorer. For the most part, these apps take the place of ActiveX instructions that are proprietary Microsoft functions. The needed aids are usually Java applets, Macromedia Flash and Shockwave, etc. It's easy enough to download and install these utilities. When they show up on a page (they will, as needed) just click on the download plugin icon thangy and your PC will do the rest. It's not rocket science, just follow directions. It's easy. They are not huge downloads, so the time involved is minimal. FireTune is a utility from Total Idea that tweaks this browser. Home Computer and Lockergnome both recommend it. Their EULA is not very clear on spyware. I like it when the words absolutley NO spyware, adware, malware, thiefware, cheatware are included in the End User License Agreeement.
