which browser are you using?

I recently switched to Netscape 7.2 and it seems to be working a lot better than IE. It catches all-and only unwanted popups.
IE not only doesn't do that too well, but keeps crashing all the time.

yup,  

What sandman said.  Although the plugins don't allways work the same as they do for IE in my case it's pretty good.  When ever I'm surfing for something that I know is gonna give me a virus (porn, cracks, warez ect) I use firefox

Maxthon and Firefox. I like Maxthon better but am giving Firefox a try. I run a very tight ship as far as security with my puter.

Using IE these days is sort of like taping a chicken to your butt right before walking through a lion`s den.

Firefox.

The only two problem sites are Trend's house call and AH's stat's page. For these two I still use IE. Strangely AH's score page works fine with firefox; it's just the stats page that doesn't.

Maxthon  and firefox

Starting to like maxthon more and more,  it seems to have a smaller foot print then firefox, and It does not seem to slow up as much as firefox when left on over night
