Avoid online game sites--when others use my computer to play games is when I get spyware. At all costs DO NOT download Kazza. My daughter did this and I spent nearly 8 hours removing nearly 500 pieces of spyware and malware from her less than one month old computer.
I just started using firefox. When I run a browser check it says that my browser is Netscape and the liscense is Mozilla/firefox. Does this mean that I need to update my Netscape and Firefox? sorry just a little confused how the two interrelate.
An alternative is Kaza Lite. It doesn't load the spyware nor the popups and it has a "speed up" feature to download from several people at a time. Works great and no headeaches.
