I have been using the internet for last few years and everything worked fine. However, until few months ago, I could not defend from all sorts of viruses and adwares. I reinstalled OS 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. I installed Firefox. Now I have problem with Firefox 3 erases cookies on close. What should I do?
Of course, there are other browsers beside the Internet Explorer. Firefox is one of the most popular. Many users also claims that it is so much better and safer then the Internet Explorer. I personally disagree with them. As you can see from your problem with Firefox 3 erases cookies on close, Firefox also has its problems. I am also on the Internet many hours per day, and my favorite browser is Internet Explorer and I do not have any problems. I don't think that you should change your Internet browser. To solve your problems you need some anti-spyware software like SpyBot Search & Destroy, which is completely free. Second thing you need is some good anti-virus software which is also free. I personally use AVG 8.0 and I am completely satisfied. If you have Windows XP, you also have to check do you have Service Pack 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.
