OK, I finally switched to Mozilla as the default internet browser on my home computer. I was searchnig for MP3 encoder at
download.com, so I typed "MP3 encoder" in the search box and
this thing came up. At the time that I did this, they did not have the editor's note and I did not pay attention to the
user comments. So I downloaded and installed that peice of sh*t. From that point on my computer was posessed with all kinds of adware and spyware. It kept freezing. I got all kinds of new tool bars in Internet Explorer and my desktop was filled with a dozen of new icnos pointing to all kinds of crap like casinos, money savings etc... After spending couple of days trying to delete the stuff by hand by exploring my windows registry and removing the applications via the control panel I still could not get rid of all of the spyware. So I downloaded
SpyBot Search & Destroy and it removed some stuff, but I still have a problem where in Explorer I get certain words on the webpages underlined with links. So I decided to install Mozilla and none of the problems with explorer were present. So I decided to make Mozilla my default internet browser for now. I will miss
Yahoo Companion toolbar which I used in IE. I used it for easy access to my
Yahoo Bookmarks and a quick search field was handy. But now Mozilla allows you to use
Google to search for anything typed on its address bar. I also was able to import my Yahoo Bookmarks into Mozilla. So we'll see how it goes... I do love Mozilla tabs a lot!
