Forgot to mention I use different browsers depending on my needs.
There is no reason why you should just have the one browser on your PC.
You may wish to consider having a second browser as a backup, in case your preferred browser misbehaves. This will enable you to browse the internet whilst you fix your preferred browser that has been maliciously hijacked.
Consider Opera, or Firefox browsers.....

Pretty exciting stuff and a glimpse of the future if you use mobile phones, eh?
Makes the IE browser look rather tame, and slow and well due an overhaul.
The trouble is that people like to stick with the familiar, rather than try something new.
You can get rid of the adverts that are present on the free version by buying the full version.
