That was PC magazines best choice for a spyware removal tool. I love it (only have to use it on my windows machine)

And Mozilla Firefox is the shit! IE has so many secuirity flaws and vulnerabilites it could give you nightmares, Firefox is atleast better if not much better. The key to loving Firefox is Extension, Extension Extensions. Use them love them, enjoy your browsing experience popup and spyware free(relativley speaking when compared with IE).

Yes, because having a browser where I have to install 50 "plug ins" to make it nearly as functional as IE rocks.

IE 6, SP2. Turn off your third party browser plugins (you don't need yahoo toolbar and weatherbug fruitcake) and you are more than fine. You're quick too.

Charlie is right. I had a lot of problems with IE this semester but it was because all my Windows and IE files were out of date. Now I am running SP2 with the latest IE and I haven't gotten any popups, viruses, or anything. I used Mozilla for a while and it was a headache with all the compatibility issues it has. Especially Thunderbird, where you can't run antivirus for your e-mail because if it quarantines one e-mail, it quanatines them all.

Lol, I am glad you know my life and what I have done. I used to be a network and systems administrator on a 500+ Mac node network along with 300+ Windows boxes including BSD and other service administration. Lets not forget Cisco and implementing VoIP. Oh yea, add Novel and Solaris in there too. Yea, I have no foundation to judge.

Your opinion is pretty narrow minding assuing we don't know anything. Also, I am not a "kid" either.

I apologize then. I immediately take what is said in that format as unintelligent garbage.
I suppose that is what you get for dealing with short-winded aggressive comments from network admins (who don’t know their elbows from their assholes) all day long.
You would vomit if you knew how little Boeing knows about their transfer of critical data.
Perhaps you would like to elaborate on your seemingly strong distaste for the Mac OS? Would I be wrong to assume that many of the servers that were on this network were of the windows variety? Unix? Are these Servers that have limited adaptability on a multiplatform network?
As for assuming that know one knows anything… look at what is posted on a daily basis.
What do you expect from a internet forum?
