In further support of Firefox, it has a bunch of cool features like tabbed browsing. Also, there have been only about seven security holes found in it (actually, most of them were in java, not the browser itself) and patches were released immediately, ulike Microsoft, where IE has so many holes that there is a new batch of fixes every month, and they never patch the holes quickly. Not only will Firefox improve your browsing experience, but it's not MS, and it's really secure.Ray wrote:To delete system files... if you need to in any case, do ctrl + alt + delete and exit the explorer.

Glad you had it fixed.
As Me said, IE is filled with security holes and I would highly recommend Firefox which you can download from Mozilla Firefox.
HELP!!!!!!!!!
I will forever boycott about.com
With Firefox you can change how your firefox looks COMPLETELY!!! For example, I changed my Firefox to look exactly like Apple's Safari Browser!
Popup blocking comes with it and you can install extensions such as the popular:
AdBlocker
Simply put, you right click on a banner ad you don't like, from the drop-down menu press "AdBlock" and the banner's gone and no empty space remains.

One, thing that should be noted. All you should worry about are unknown exe files. DON'T just go deleting all unknown *.exe files. If you don't know what it does, do some research by typing it into Google or some other search engine. You don't want to mistakedly delete an important file. There are several good worm-remover sites that'll let you know what do you if you encounter a particular worm or an infected *.exe file.

Yeah, when I was really getting frustrated I just started erasing files and I kinda erased some files for wordperfect
Err, I mean--the virus also erased some of my wordperfect files! Darn them!
