I have been using the internet for last three years. Everything worked OK until a month ago. Since a month ago, I could not defend from all sorts of viruses and spywares. I even reinstalled Windows twice but it did not help me for a long. After a day or two on the Internet and I have the same problems. Now my IE will not open an .flv file. Should I think about changing my Internet browser?
There are many other browsers beside the Internet Explorer that you can think of. Some of the most popular are Mozila Firefox and Opera and many users think that they are safer then the Explorer. I personally disagree with them. That is because I am also spending much time on the Internet with IE 7, and I do not have any problems. You just need some reliable anti-spyware software like SpyBot Search and Destroy and some good anti-virus software like AVG. I personally use that combination and I am completely satisfied. If you have Microsoft Windows XP, you will also need Service Pack 2 to be installed. All those things will not slow your machine much and will give you enough protection.
