Mark,

One very important thing to keep in mind is that spyware (malware, keystroke logging apps, etc) are mostly targeted at the vulnerabilities in Microsoft Explorer. There are alternate browsers available for free. Yes, for free.

Personally, I recommend and use Firefox by Mozilla. It is a very nice browser with features only MS Explorer could dream of (like tab browsing). About the only downside to Firefox is getting all the plugins downloaded so your browser does not prohibit certain flash/media features built into many sites. Firefox can be downloaded, installed, and your Internet Explorrer settings imported within 5 minutes of clicking on the download link. It has a very easy install wizard.

Another very popular alternative is Opera. It is not for the casual internet surfer as the setup is slightly more complicated.

Both Firefox and Opera are CONSIDERABLY MORE SECURE than Internet Explorer. These companies actually addressed security holes as they developed the product ... not after it was released to the consumer like Microsoft did.

Give it a try once you have completely rid your PC of spyware,, malware, and any virus resident on your box.

Best of luck.

• Mozilla's Firefox
