| 311122 | 2005-01-06 08:59:00 | firefox isnt prone to the majority of exploits the IE suffers from yes, but that still dosn't stop spyware/malware from being installed or stop the popups caused by them. |

| 311123 | 2005-01-06 09:04:00 | can you please explain how useing firefox will help ??? They obviously use IE. Their IE installation has obviously been infected or hijacked, so needs to be cleaned out - hence the use of Spybot/AdAware/AVG being covered earlier in the thread. It was mentioned he was going to burn a CD to take round there so I suggested chucking FireFox on there. If they browse with FireFox it isn't vulnerable to all the ActiveX exploits/toolbars self installations/BHO's etc etc etc etc that IE is - hence browsing with FireFox instead of IE will prevent a recurrence of the problem. Though I think you probably already knew that and are just baiting. |

| 311126 | 2005-01-06 09:21:00 | :groan: Child . o grow up . what the firefox fanboys never seem to say that useing firefox (or any other browser) will stop you from being infected . while i sure helps its not a cure a never will be . the simple way to advoid being infected is to use comman sence . not everything on the net is "free" . it always pays to have the neccary tools handy in case you do get infected . |

| 311127 | 2005-01-06 10:02:00 | might also be a good idea to include a firewall, zonealarm perhaps? | Prescott (11) | ||
| 311128 | 2005-01-06 10:19:00 | might also be a good idea to include a firewall, zonealarm perhaps? I might suggest they go to SP2,it has a nice firewall. |
