Thanks. Has the RT protection of Anti-spyware ever alerted
you as to incoming Spyware etc.,i.e., it hasn't alerted me
as of yet?

Ask any Firefox user and they will explain to you, in mildly hysterical
fashion, how your computer is about to be overcome with spyware and
viruses, your identity stolen, your children molested, etc. etc. - All
because you use IE. ;-)

Like you, I don't buy into the hype. I've been using IE for, hmm,
seven or eight years? Never had any problems whatsoever. Seems
Firefox's marketing campaign is centered around scare tactics.

Of course if you are this kind of person who clicks ANY dialog boxes
that appear on your screen, like you're playing Starcraft - OK, Yes,
Install, Yes, OK, OK, Apply... (Running with Admin rights 24/7, of
course.). Then come screaming around to the forums about how: "IE
hosed my computer!!!!!!11!!1". Well, you need more than Firefox?

So true. I have been using IE since windows 95. I have been using XP since
it came out, and updated when ever there was an update, and have never had
any spyware or malware problems. The biggest problem with people is that
they need to read.

Hi Joe,

< The biggest problem with people is that they need to read.>
Tha said, and I don't disagree, they should also run Windows Updates, have
SP2, and have a current up to date Anti Virus product running.
