Mozilla Firefox is a speedy, full-featured browser that makes browsing more efficient than ever before.
Firebird includes comprehensive pop-up controls to keep unwanted advertising off your desktop; a tab browsing mode that lets you open several pages in a single window, allowing you to load links in the background without leaving the page you're on.
Integrated Google search.
Industry-leading keyboard navigation.
Simplified privacy controls that let you cover your tracks more effectively.
A streamlined browser window that lets you see more of the page than any other browser while at the same time being more configurable.
A large variety of free downloadable extensions and themes that add specific functionality and visual changes to the browser.
A number of other details that work together with you to help you get the most out of your time online.
New to Mozilla Firefox 0.8 include the ability to automatically download files to your desktop and open bookmarks in your sidebar using Web panels
As I said Firefox is excellent but you have to spend time tameing it with the large nu,ber of extensions and so on.

I use the Symantec corporate edition. They are the best actually. Do you update your antivirus signautures on a daily basis? Also go to http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html and download spybot - search and destroy. it is free and cleans your system of adaware, scum and a lot of spying items. You will be very surprised what you will find in your system.
