Welll, except they say it's fast and they haven't had any pop ups, adware, or browser hijacking. Sorry if I sound like and advertisement for Mozilla Firefox but I haven't had any problems with it yet... Here's the link.

    P.S. This is just in reply to the last post to this thread, I've been lurking long enough to know that mark could get rid of those popups and ads if he wanted.
    I am going to have to agree with you 100% on this one. I have been using Firebird/FireFox since the 0.3 build, and will NEVER go back to IE. It's just awesome, Tabbed browsing, Auto-popup blocker, really nice download manager built right in, easy skinning from a TRUSTED source (mozilla.org), and the list just goes on and on...

    Ive been seeing those ad's for about 2 or 3 weeks now when I use public computers. At first they do look surprisingly like a dos window, but then you realise that dos doesnt do cool scrolling text that you can actually read...

    I think that the inexperienced user would click on them becuase they look like a system thing and also they contain the names of many virii that have been in the news recently, so that might mislead users to

    Which site did you find these misleading ads? , a firm yet nasty complaint is definetely due to the editors as they are quite scummy.
    Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
