[AK0R]

I know that several people on this forum use the Firefox browser, and wanted to make sure you were aware of this:

If this is "old news" to you, my apologies, but it might not be to everyone.

Firefox may have one bug, but not as much as Internet Explorer's many bugs and problems.

I just followed a link to the IE JavaScript bug proof of concept code, and my free AniVir antivirus would not let the malicious code run on my pc. Yeah for free antivirus programs!!!!!!

I always run with all scripting enabled also!

The company is AntiVir. A German company. I downloaded it from download.com about a month ago, now its all I use on all my systems.

thanks for the tip. i will test it. 20 euro for the paid version and 5 goes to charity is a nice deal. lol Tjark looks like God......

avg-free is popping up occasionally to agree to update and disturbs some users. lots of clicking. interface is ugly also. avg has good market share now i think. many people will exit from symantec/mcaffee the latest versions have many issues, some of which i find unacceptable.
