TYRON said:Sounds like spyware, which IE is particularly prone to, give these guys a visit - CastleCops

ScarboroughFox said:ever since i have installed this mozilla firefox thing every now and again it freezes and when the page loads a box appears saying the operation has timed out!
anyone know why this happens? and how to prevent it?
Macky said:here you go Scarby, follow these links & you'll be able to deal with most junkware on your PC:
Ad-Aware
Spybot
Spyware Blaster
Spyware Guard
MS anti-spyware
Just be careful not to run a scan with more than one program at time.
And don't be tempted to go back to IE, Firefox is the way forward. If there's a site that you visit that doesn't render correctly in FF, there's a handy extension here that will use the IE shell to render a page in a FF tab!

Jeff said:Since you wrote this there have been more security issues with Firefox than with IE!
In terms of usability I think Firefox is the best browser, but Opera is also pretty good and seems to be more secure.

Jeff said:The latest version of Opera has no ads and is free, has been for a few months.
