Invisible Lead Soup Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 "It shows how powerful our AntiSpyware program is," said Weatherbee. "Not only is it able to remove spyware from the system, but also the source of most spyware. Our competitors can't match that."Ahahahahaha.

Doc Ascension Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Firefox is miles better... for one its not buggy, its not full of security loopholes and backdoors and you get pop up blocking and tabbed browsing and auto downloads... very good piece of software.

MattJimF Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 rumor has it google are planning their own browser as they have made a deal with the developers of mozilla http://www.mediapost.com/dtls_dsp_news.cfm?newsID=289360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Child_of_bodom Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I have been a happy firefox user for ages now and it rocks. Microsoft can go suck mozilla's hard code. But what really suprised me was SP2's security features. In an attempt to help internet security after i downloaded and installed it it deleted all other microsoft products from my registry and hard drive. Only XP was left working. It got rid of IE, MSN messenger, Word, Works and even caused Halo to stop running properly, it also screwed up my network completely. What a great upgrade that was. Thank god it let me revert to what it previously was. Shame really it almost sounded like a utopia, shame i need MSN or i might have been tempted to leave it like that.
