| I have been using the internet for last four years and everything worked fine. However, until few months ago, I could not defend from all sorts of viruses, spywares and adwares. I reinstalled Windows several times but it did not help me for a long. After a day or two on the Internet, I have the same problems again. Now I got some spam that I cannot unsubscribe. Are there any safer browsers than explorer? |

| Of course, there are other browsers beside the Internet Explorer. Some of the most popular are Netscape navigator, Mozila Firefox and Opera. Many users also claims that they are so much better and safer then the Internet Explorer. I personally disagree with them. I am also on the Internet almost ten hours per day, I am using Internet Explorer and I do not have any problems. By my experience, you need some anti-spyware software like SpyBot, which is completely free. Second thing you need is some good anti-virus software which is also free. I personally use AVG and I am completely satisfied. If you have Windows XP, you also have to check do you have SP 2 installed. If don't then download and install it. All those things will not slow your machine much but will give you enough protection. In addition, Mailwasher would provide best spam prevention for your machine that is possible. |
