I don't want to belabor a subject, but ever since I've put Firefox in as a browser, I have had little or no problems with spyware, cookies, viruses, and the like. What I have heard, and I think it was from this forum, is that Microsoft XP, I think it's starting in February, will not allow another browser but IE. You've got to be pissed when you hear that. Luckily or unluckily, I'm on Windows 98SE, which they will no longer support as of next July. Having the Firefox just seemed a better and more worry-free solution.

I run AdAware, PeerGuardian, and AVG. That's about all for now. So, give it a thought.

An afterthought, I'm thinking real seriously about Linux PCLinuxOS.
