I use Firefox and have for years. Google Chrome is a good browser, not spyware in any way shape or form.

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.

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.

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.

not true in this instance.

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

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.

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.

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?
