YoKenny Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Is it true that IE are the worst browser? There is no such thing as a safe browser. IE is no worse than Firefox and Firefox has its vulnerabilities. Install SpywareBlaster and update it regularly http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html Use an anti virus application like avast! or Avira AntiVir plus keep them up to date Use a site notification tool like McAfee SiteAdvisor http://www.siteadvisor.com Enable IE7 security by reviewing information http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512583.aspx Use a HOSTS file to block known bad sites I use hpHosts and MVPS HOSTS files: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm <== has a good description of the HOSTS file and its use I manage them with HostsMan and I use its HostsServer proxy to speed up browsing: http://www.abelhadigital.com Use Common sense Do not use P2P ( file sharing ) applications as they are a favorite vehicle for malware writers.
