It is not the browser that is suseptble to virus it is the operating system, Windows, so do not get rid of your virus check or your spyware checker just because you are using Firefox

Thanks...did not know that.

I run spybot at least 3or 4 times a week and it almost always comes up with something...and I do use mozilla.

Are these actually installed spyware programs, or just cookie files? I would wager to say the latter, unless you are downloading lots of freeware programs and installing them willy-nilly.

Cookies are NOT spyware, but I think many spyware programs seem to pretend they are just so that it can find ~something~ and boost the claim that spyware is everywhere.
