Thanks for the nice post. I am fairly new to Microsoft Windows 2000 and its bundled Internet Explorer. I suspect I would break a lot of things on this computer if I would try to load Firefox.

Nevertheless, I enjoy reading about your successes and Firefox is in that category!

Wouldn't break anything. From what I understand Firefox is a good program. One of the reasons it doesn't have a lot of the problems with spyware, malware etc is because the number of systems out there with it is very small. IE probably is on 95% or more of the systems including corporte systems. If your going to write something then you wirte it for the bigger market. Of course the same is true of those making protective software. If Firefox catches on it will become a target for those *ssh*les.

No matter what you're using I'd suggest picking up the free software I recommended. The price is right and they really help.

Did you know the support for Windows 2000 expired in June of this year even if you have Service Pak 2. There will be no more security updates or other patches for it.
