FireFox – Safer, Faster, Better

My computer has been free of spyware for over a month now. Not a single malicious cookie nor sneaky bit of code in the registry nor executable file hiding away in some nameless hidden folder. Nada.

While Adaware gets the credit for wiping out the few that had made their way onto my system in the past, FireFox is the daily hero that keeps them at bay.

I originally loaded up Firefox out of curiousity. I'd heard early buzz about it and decided to take a peak. This was back at version 0.8 and even that early version was more impressive than the most recent version of Explorer, or any of the other browsers I'd tried. Little by little, I found myself using FireFox more and Explorer less. Around October, I made the concious decision to switch, setting FireFox as my default browser.

I've recently swayed a few other people to make the switch. Usually about the time that we do an Adaware sweep...

"423,000 spyware found?!! That is not a small number. That is a big number! Wait - what's that. Computer Over. Virus equals very yes?"

FireFox is free to download and easy as pie to install. Do yourself a favour, and give it a try.
