The main reason I use Firefox is because it displays websites the way they're supposed to be displayed. Firefox is a standards-compliant browser, meaning it complies with the rules on how webpages are supposed to be displayed as set down by the W3C.
I also like it because of tabbed browsing. You can open multiple pages in one window, which really is cool. It's easy enough to test it out, so I recommend you download it and try it. I almost guarantee you won't go back. |

 . But really, good surfing habits and a good AV/Firewall program should do it. Mozilla Firefox is a good program that doesn't take as much spyware as MSIE is vulnerable to.kram |

Browsing habits make all the difference. I use MyIE2 (now Maxthon) which is based on IE but has MANY more features like tabbed browsing, mouse gestures, etc. and I don't get any spyware. I rarely even scan because I know it will come up with nothing.
