    [​IMG] I don't know if anyone else uses Mozilla Firefox. Excellent program, very fast & efficient without disturbing your settings & it is free...!!! Just type in Mozilla firefox into your search engine then download it. Very simple step by step application... Try it & let me know what you think. [​IMG] It also gives you acces to "Scroogle". The search engine with no "crap" ( scuse french!!) When you have downloaded Firefox just type in Scroogle then bookmark it, do a sample search, it has all the advertising rubbish taken out, but of course none of your original settings are disturbed... (it asks if you want to import your favourites, these will now appear as "bookmarks")....read the scroogle page about them ;)
    By the way did you know that google earth is sponsered by the CIA......... :confused:

    I bet the CIA can zoom in further than I can :( .

    I use AVG on my main pc (that is free also), and doesn't slow your pc down.

    [​IMG] Oh, agree about AVG Nathan. I have that too, but it is all the other things Mozilla can do. Amongst which, there is a clearer screen, try a back to back comparision of a photo on GC. One through Mozilla the other through Internet Explorer. I think you'll find the Mozilla is faster & a little more superior quality.. Or...Maybe not, but that is what I found. Try it it's easy to uninstall if you don't like it.. [​IMG]

    I've been using it for over a year now and the only sites that don't work on it very well are Microsoft and Pcpitstop which is an online check of your PCs performance, VERY GOOD TOO. I can't get the required add-in to load so.

    I use the Google front end which can be installed with Firefox, it is very basic with no adverts.

    I ditched AVG in favour of Avast, a superior program IMO. I also use Microsoft Antispyware which is also free while it is in beta.
