I doubt it. I'm no computer wiz, either. Just use spybot and adaware. Run them both and then find an alternate browser as suggested above. IE is terrible, as the scammers always find a way around its defenses precisely because it is the most used browser world-wide.

I'll tell you what. I'll try IE right now just to see how it goes. Been a long time, now.

I'm using adaware, & we've got a copy of spybot on my kid's machine. She likes to play neopets, which means javascript, which means info-lice infestation. Disabling java helps in IE.

I no longer go to Drudge or Lucianne without giving my machine an adaware sponge bath.

I tried Mozilla a while back, and had problems with it. I don't recall much more than that it didn't get along with something else on my machine. I got frustrated and dumped it. But now I'm having second thoughts. What's the recommended browser among the techies these days?
