    I must agree, I haven't seen any more spyware for a while. (Though its only been two days, but then again, I'm used to getting infected using IE withing 5 minutes of browsing, lol)

    Posted by:KorpDeath Plus the spoofstick is great for newbies. It lets them know that haven't been redirected to a site they didn't intend on going to in the first place.
    I was wondering, KorpDeath, where this was? I took a look through the options, but was unable to find it. (Is it built-in somewhere?) Perhaps I'm just being blind and stupid as I just woke up...? At least Firefox isn't groggy first thing in the morning! :P

    It's a plugin you can download. Go to "tools" "extensions" Down at the bottom, "get more extensions" and take a look at all the extensions you can add. Enjoy.

    *edit* Just go here.

    I just wanted to put in my 2 cents on FIREFOX, i installed it a few weeks ago! And after 2 days of using it IE went out the WINDOW! Great plugins and it also has my favorite shortcut ctrl+enter! Im pushing for the browser to be in our next Build for our section! So slowly but surely FIREFOX is winning over my IT department
