| I have been using the internet for last three years and everything worked fine. However, since few months ago, I could not defend from viruses, especially Trojans. I even reinstalled my XP few times 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 says it's connected, but there's no traffic and that is why I finally switched to Opera. Today I've heard some rumors about its security problems. Is that true? |

| There are other browsers beside the Internet explorer. Opera is definitely one of the most popular browsers on the net. Firefox is even more popular. Many users think that they are better then plain 'old' Explorer. However, Opera and most of the other popular browsers have security and compatibility problems, therefore I would not advise you to use that. Anyway, I do not think that your problems are related to using Explorer. I am also spending much time on the Internet, I am using Internet Explorer, and I do not have any bigger problems. That my opinion is right shows that first place as the most popular internet browser goes to Internet explorer. You just need some reliable anti-spyware software like SpyBot, which is efficient and free. I do not know that thing about adware, but I am sure if it comes with SpyBot, it is not dangerous. You also need some good anti-virus software, which is efficient and free. I personally use AVG and I am completely satisfied. |
