i had the opportunity to use lindows or linspire at a public library. it's bad stuff. if i were microsoft i wouldn't worry.

on my pc i recently downloaded firefox because often explorer would say that a web site wasn't available. trying again, it would work.

now, the same thing happens to firefox.

so what gives? i have a new 64mhz 'puter.

Only a guess... but sometimes I've seen this happen to computers were ad/malware was present. There are some really good posts here on freerepublic is you search a bit for adware, or you could look here for a start:

Arstechnica - Spyware removal
Spywarewarrior

There may be better links out there, but that's good for start.
