Re: Computer questions and solutions....thereof...
I use Firefox and have for years. Google Chrome is a good browser, not spyware in any way shape or form.

Re: Computer questions and solutions....thereof...
I use IE as my main browser, it works best for everything. Next I would say Chrome, then Firefox...
IE has the most security updates, has been around the longest and (according to TMW server stats) 80% of people use it vs just 14% Firefox.
See the main page of Total Motorcycle: http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/ and you'll notice little differences with each browser.

Re: Computer questions and solutions....thereof...
Good reason NOT to use IE. Why would I want a browser that requires constant security updates? Just seems logical that more security updates means a less secure browser and one I wouldnt want to use. I mean they couldnt get it right the first time why should I hope the update actually fix's anything.totalmotorcycle wrote:I use IE as my main browser, it works best for everything.

Re: Computer questions and solutions....thereof...
I believe that IE requires the most security updates because Windose is so popular,
IE free with it, and therefore a target of hackers.
I think any 'off brand' browser, less popular, would be less of a target.

Re: Computer questions and solutions....thereof...
I don't have any problems with IE. Updates are automatic and so are the security updates on my anti virus/security program.

Re: Computer questions and solutions....thereof...
Before I started Total Motorcycle, I had a long career as an IT manager and CIO (Which started in 1986 and went until 1999). I understand your concerns about IE, but IE is patched so often because it's the #1 brower (by a long shot) and is the most up to date... thus the constant patches to keep it fresh.ofblong wrote:Good reason NOT to use IE.

Re: Computer questions and solutions....thereof...
Printer ink question.....
Do you think that refilled cartidges get the same results as new cartiridges?
Does it make a difference to the quality of the print if you buy original OEM or non OEM?
Would a reconditioned cartridge be ok to use?
I was on ebay looking for ink cartidges and the choices are almost limitless.

Re: Computer questions and solutions....thereof...
I need help. I can't find the solution to this problem.
Last weekend I went online to get a kids game for my nephew to play. It was a one hour free trial. Along with it came unwanted cookies etc.
I have done the usual clear cookies, browsing history, security scan, disc clean etc.....I used the uninstall to remove what I could find, I searched for files etc and found some and deleted what it would allow me, but there is still something attached inside.
It is from Conduit.....when I click a new tab it goes to Visual Bee instead of google.
How do I get rid of that?
