If you guys are worried about spyware/adware installed on your machine, try this:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ Download their program "Ad Aware". It scans your system like antivirus software would, locates undesirable crap that's been installed on your system without your knowledge (and if you use a Windows machine, it almost certainly has some spyware on it). Then, it allows you to uninstall the spyware. Spyware sends your personal info to companies who then use it to sell you stuff, or they simply sell it to advertisers. Spyware makes your machine unstable. Spyware slows your machine down. Spyware is unethical, and evil. Picture McDonalds putting a big golden "M" on the roof of your car, and a tracking device, when you go through the drive through, and then getting a list of everywhere you drive so they know where to put more billboards. As far as IE loading faster than Mozilla - sure, that's a fact. Because IE is built into Windows, 75% of the code is already in memory when you launch IE, so no other browser will ever be able to compete with that. On the other hand, if you put Mozilla in your Startup folder, 100% of it's code will be in memory after you startup. Apples and apples. |
