Solution? Stay away from that defeatured virus transportation system called Internet Exploder.

Get real. Get Firefox.

Version 1.5 released today.

Internet Exploder is what Firefox would be if Firefox were steam powered.

Tried to use Live Safety Center Beta, but it wanted to install Active X Control. I'm under the impression that installing Active X makes the computer more vulnerable to attack. What's the real skinny? And do I need any of this live safety center BS if I already have/use anti-virus/anit-spyware, firewall, and scan my disc every once in a while to defrag it.

Opinions?
