From the Internet ... SERIOUSLY?! - Majick - 16-12-2008 03:33 PM

According to this Article ... it is entirely possible all these Viruses I've been getting are simply from me browsing my everyday websites!!!
The virus they're explaining in the article is VERY similar to the Trojan on my computer.
Seriously ... WTF?! {cursing} {cursing} {cursing} {cursing} {cursing}

I would suggest to everybody that they use Firefox as their web browser as it is more secure than IE.
Obviously when Firefox becomes the most popular browser then the criminals will target that instead of IE, but for the moment, Firefox (or Chrome) is the safer option.

As Matt said, try Firefox or Chrome.
Or maybe even Opera, I use it and it's incredibly secure. =D

Never thought about it.
I'm gonna try Firefox.

Another big plus about Firefox is that there is loads of things you can add to customise it how you want and there are also loads of themes to make it look groovy! - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

Seriously, I think my IE is a virus itself...well, it may have a virus in it...
When I start up my computer, two blank IE screens always pops up.
If I can uninstall it, I would, since I don't like it. I have always used Firefox, because it does a not more than IE anyways...it can play things and display things IE can't.
