| 1132022 | 2010-08-28 08:13:00 | someone from my hobby club said they switched to FF and got so much less spam. i thought it was just a browser to view stuff. are people attacking onliners ... or do they have spam / spyware. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1132023 | 2010-08-28 08:42:00 | It may happen if you install programs that install addons or toolbars. You'll be surprised what people install. They have no idea what they're installing, then complain that they're infected | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1132024 | 2010-08-28 11:28:00 | I used ZA with very few problems until I changed to a NAT router, then I ran with that alone for several years until I got my new comp and enabled Windows Essentials. I ran for years without even an AV no problems, then got Avast which found nothing when it first scanned and nothing thereafter. Now MSAV is on the job but is not being worked very hard!

| 1132025 | 2010-08-28 11:38:00 | Speedy is right, and it's not just limited to IE either. Any vulnerable browser going to a malicious website basically means that the firewall won't stop it, because your browser is a trusted application. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
