IE is a very good browser in many respects, but the bad guys just love to hack at it and bombard you with nasty bugs. However, there is a better browser available that’s not subject to all these viruses and attacks. Internet Explorer is the most popular browser that is used for surfing the net today. Users need a secure and reliable internet browser that will not let harmful viruses and spyware invade computers when browsing the interent. The most widely accepted browser as far back as anyone can remember is Internet Explorer. In the browser generation we are now seeing other browsers enter the market like firefox, opera and others.
Now, Firefox is the main rival of IE. Since new alternatives like Firefox and Opera have come out we now know that, yes there is faster browsing out there. Most of Firefox’s advantages are MSIE’s disadvantages, and vice-versa. Firefox allows you to “open in tabs. There has also been a joke circulating among Firefox fans that there is only one thing that is more secure in Internet Explorer than in Firefox and that is a feature that has not been implemented yet in Internet Explorer.
There is a strong integration with IE with Microsofts OS, though there is a positive side and a negative side to this because this enhances security problems. The Firefox team made a conscious decision to support neither ActiveX nor VBScript, activex and vbscript are not standards in the web society are often the problem when it comes to security vulnerabilities when using IE. Internet Explorer version 7 has been improved a great deal to help users a glimpse of the type of functionality you can expect from the new Windows Vista, it will not only do this but is fixes many security problems and introduced many new features into the browser. If you end up at a site that you think is questionable, and it does not have the appropriate security certificate, IE7 will now warn you by displaying messages.
Safety is comprised when the threat of internet crooks create and execute large-scale hoaxes such as ID theft and phishing. With the introduction of IE7 they have added a new feature called Phishing, Phishing is stealing your identity by bringing to sites that mimic other websites. What is phishing, phishing is when people send emails and falsely portray that they are from a bank or credit card company in hopes you will give you personal information to them. This is done by you clicking on a link in an email and entering your information, you think the site you are entering you information is the real site but it is not.

I'm not sure if you're talking about something that exists, "Browser Options Page", I've never heard of such a page and as far as I know, "Tools" IS the place to go for IE adjustments.
I'm watching for this answer too…

Dude, wth? I said FIREFOX or MAC, now I would REALLY sound like a jackass if I didn’t say a way that Windows users can avoid this kinda stuff. besides, what is wrong with Mac? I use both, and I have no problems accepting both for everyday use, if someone says that windows is better, I don’t give a crap, it is in someways so cool it, we don hav to result to cursing like 12 year olds, oh and look “4) Don’t curse. Everyone who curses I automaticly assume that they are twelve years old.” on ur pro

Get Firefox from:

http://mozilla.com/
All you have to do is to download and install it like any other software and then start using it.
When Firefox asks you to make it your default browser, select No because your Windows needs IE for updating and stuff.

Click on the sundial icon on the top menu of Internet Explorer. If they are smart enough they will clear the history so you don't know where they are going.

I don’t know but would firefox noscript help stop this by stopping java,activex .etc scripts from running? If someone knows please reply because im curious to know.

um chrome might be the best if you have crashes alot and vista is a mem slut and may not work well w/ firefox because of that
chome creates seperate processes for each tab so if one crashes the entire program dose not try chrome

MACs are often mis-used, they are designed for more horse power than a standard pc. like graphic editing, adobe tools ect. pretty much why they cost like $2000
December 23rd, 2009 on 6:54 pm
For $2000 you can get a PC with incredible specs.
Macs are for looks, family. and a nice OS
Windows is for business, price, and compatibility.

yeah, it will. but you dont have to worry about activex if you use firefox. also the adblock plus extension will block ads from sites like doubleclick, but most website owners rely on ad revenue to pay for their site, so adblock plus could hurt website owners.

Windows based computers are based for cheapness, rather than a mac uses less resources which means hardware and software can perform faster

That's a very logical thing to wonder. I have found questions as simple as asking about a celebrity's birthday. These are things you could type into Google and not even click any links, just read the website summaries on the search page!
Perhaps people don't know how to Google. I'm not sure anyone ever taught me but I tend to assume people are capable of a bit more than what perhaps might be true.
Nonetheless, it IS a violation to just tell someone to Google or Wikipedia something. While it may be painfully obvious, some folks just won't be bothered. True, other things might need a more tailored response, but even a question like how to iron silk or tie a sailor's knot could be Googled very easily.
Alas, we just have to grit our teeth and try to raise our kids (future or present) to be much more conscientious.
