The public warning of the security vulnerabilities is evidence that the Mozilla Foundation's products give a false sense of security, charged Thor Larholm

ha ha ha. ho ho ho. I'm putting you into the Microsoft suck-up weenie file, Thor. Sorry to let you down, but denial is what leads to a false sense of security.

I've got a bug called "180 Solutions"Adware dumped on me, had to shut that 'puter down and go to backup. The manual fix is kinda scary for a novice.

Is there anything safe out there? Are the spyware and anti-adware programs worth it? How long before they are obsolete?

Every piece of complex software has potential problems. Firefox is no different from other programs in that respect.

I use it because it is the best browser on the market right now. If MS improves IE so that is better than Firefox, I'll use it.

When updating Firefox do you just run the setup program or do you need to uninstall the older 1.0 version before installation of the new one?

Just asking.
