On the toolbar, Help, About What version of Firefox is running? It might help to download the latest version, if you don't have it. (Should be 3.03 now.) Ooops. I think it's 8. You might also try downloading all the correct plugins. |

Get rid of the FIFEFOX! My friend works on computers & he said, just use the e internet! Yeah if you want your encryption torn to crap and a slower browser, by all means, get rid of FF. Keep FireFox and download Windows Live for your email client. It'll make your life much easier. If you want your system to process faster, just set it to performance. -James |

Topic:
The Truth about a Virus
|

Look here, many will diagree, however through my experience i have seen alot of misconceptions.... 1) YOU CANNOT get a virus from roaming websites... You must install somthing for it to be on your computer... simply going to a site will not give u a virus... Not true, some sites contain scripts that can do things to your computer such as instruct it to download and run applications - an application (such as a virus), does not need to ask permission to install especially as most people tend to run their computers under admin accounts. Then there are things like port scans and attacks based on known security flaws that can instruct the computer to download and execute applications. 2)If your computer is running slow most likely a virus is not doing this... GASP! I know, very few in fact do somthing close to this. Most of the time you people dont read what your installing, and add it to your quick launch, (bottom of the right screen) If more than 5-6 icons are there when you open windows id consider this as being an option, not paying 100 for someone from bestbuy to run a msconfig... OR uninstall a couple programs from your add/remove programs this will take care of those Quick launch, well some.. Quick launch is not the correct place to look, the system tray is, quick launch is just a short cut to apps, system tray is a partial list of the programs that are running on your machine. 3) Most of you dont need an anti-virus software... GASP! yes i know, Anti-virus software/firewalls ect. these programs were actually originally designed for businesses... think about if you were a hacker... what would you hack... residents pcs? Try again. Definitely they will hack private PCs. They might not make any money directly from them but they can use them to create zombie networks and co-ordinate DDOS attacks which they CAN and DO make money from. 4) all software is free. Never pay for spy-ware,antivirus firewall programs your wasting you money, they all do the same thing, the only thing about the software that actually costs money is it has more features which slow your pc down.... =\ Not all software is free. There are free versions and there are versions you pay for. The free ones may, in principle, do the same thing but you can bet your ass that the ones you pay for are better tested and better supported. 5) And yes stop saying your pc is slow because of a virus, thats getting annoying =) Sadly in most peoples cases they are probably right as they don't tend to keep their software up to date (latest security patches, etc.). Want to keep your computer free of a virus and/or slowdowns? Don't install anything and don't connect it to the web. talldub, you make me happy. I'm glad there are SOME intelligent people out there. |
