A message to you Internet Explore users

xa · 05-02-2005

I just now got a virus. Through internet explorer. I was simply watching some videos on launch with IEXPLORE(that's all they let you use.) and I see this CMD screen pop-up. I'm like sheeit.

I quickly download spybot-sd. I install it. By now it's installing spyware and toolbar programs left and right. So I get the idea: pull the plug. I pull the internet plug. So I then get most of them fixed, but a few are left and making pop-ups randomly.
So you IE users, get firefox.

McAfee works great. Invest in that rather than some cheap Internet Spykiller crap.

Nah I trust Spybot-sd it's actually pretty damn good. I'd still switch to firefox(which I've been using since before the uber craze)

After my first computer crashed using IE, I switched to Firefox and have loved it ever since. I read a article not to long ago stating that Firefox has become the number one browser with its 50th million download.

Firefox is like Blink 182. People started liking it so it conformed. Firefox is a sellout. **** Firefox. I use Opera exclusively because, basically, it does more than Firefox. It's faster and looks better than Firefox. Let me put it this way: Opera is like me, and Firefox is like...everybody else. Me > everybody else.

I also use Firefox, but when I try to go to a page a message pops up that says "www.blahblahblah.com can not be found." That's the only downside in my oppinion. Any know how I could fix that?

Explain how firefox is a sellout. That really makes no sense since it's free.

I wasn't saying it was bad, I was just wondering how I could fix that problem because it happens a lot.

He was referring to tekniks post.

Anyway, i used I.E, got loads of spyware ****. Switched to firefox and havent had problems at all. I do think everyone should switch to it. :) Actually pretty much anything but Internet explorer.

In a way some people may understand:

All > Internet Explorer

I'm a mozilla user and I haven't had a problem with spyware yet either. Even though I do have Microsoft antispyware and norton antivirus running at all time on my computer. I do say that Mozilla is much better software then IE, but that's just my opinion.
