I have been using the internet for last three years. Everything worked fine until a week ago. Since last week, I could not defend from viruses and spywares. I even reinstalled my OS 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 Internet explorer is unusually slow. Should I think about changing my browser?
Most common answer for your problem is that you have some downloader virus on your computer and that slows your connection. There are many other browsers beside the Internet Explorer that you can think of. Some of the most popular are Opera and Mozila Firefox. There are also users that think they are safer then the Explorer. I personally disagree with them. That is because I am also spending much time on the Internet with 'old' Explorer, and I do not have any problems. You just need some reliable anti-spyware software like SpyBot Search & Destroy and some good anti-virus software like AVG. Both of those softwares are efficient and freeware. I personally use that combination and I am completely satisfied. If you have Microsoft Windows XP, you will also need SP2 to be installed.
