Is it difficult to replace IE with Mozilla? I've ben thinking about doing that.

Do you have any pointers? I'm still pretty computer-illiterate, just way more familiar with hijackers now.

It a piece of cake. Click on download in the upper left corner

Then run the file

Not difficult at all. Just go to Mozilla.org and get the software. I also install a few "extensions" that make my browsing even better than mozilla alone. You can also get purty themes to change the look of things. There are two extensions that I highly reccommend. PrefBar puts a lot of power at your fingertips, and Calendar is just a cool calendar implementation.

If you're truely adventurous, you can even download a Nightly Release. Nightlies are basically copies of mozilla that are compiled from the latest source each evening. This is only for the brave who want to bug hunt though, as you can occasionally get a build with some nasty bugs in it. I upgrade my nightly about every 2 weeks and work it out as strongly as I can, since I can't program for mozilla. I figure if I can't code, the least I can do is search for bugs.

If you need any help, please feel free to freepmail me. I gain much joy in introducing new users to mozilla, as I truely believe it makes the internet a better place.

you cannot get rid of IE.. just stop using it. clear it's cache and get rid of it's link in the toolbar...

firefox, thunderbird and mozilla are immune from microsoft based attacks. the firefox browser is blazing fast, has tabbed browsing (incredible feature really really), and graphics rendering is really top notch.

I've used them for four or five years.
Once you have installed a mozilla browser, you won't wanna go back...

I'm as dumb as stump when it comes to computers and I was able to download it with no problem. I went with the foxfire edition and went with all the upgrades there is another download for that.
