Everything was going fine for a while, then after my antispy ran it evidently deleted something that IE needs to work. IE started showing a message saying that it couldn't connect. Luckily I still have Netscape Browser and it seems to be working fine. I tried uninstalling IE and then downloading, and reinstalling it, but that didn't change a thing. Yes I can use Netscape Browser, but I like IE better....any suggestions, or maybe I might try FireFox...I've heard its bette |

Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 10263 Registered: Dec-03 | Jexx, I have been using firefox for a while now and I've noticed a problem with spyware. I noticed that my spyware remover has been coming up with plenty of tracking cookies and such. What add-ons do you use to lessen these danged pests? |

Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 10300 Registered: Dec-03 | I have adaware and spybot and my anti virus is from microtrends. What I noticed was a lot of this spywares are being inserted into my system and being detected by my anti-spyware programs after I started using firefox. Granted I do clean up everyday. |
