Wouldn't have Mcafee free Frank, sacked them years ago
It works ok with me
It did with me at first, then bang new computer, doesn't get a good press with internet users
My new pc 1 month old would not boot up yesterday at all. Rang HP Tech Guys and apparantley it was an IE8 update that caused the problem.With their help I did a ull rcovery. I'm not that keen on IE8
On a strong recommendation from soe of the folks on here I ditched IE....have never looked back....and have never had the same kind of security issues either.
Firefox for me...but it is individual choice...as in life.
Cashy, I got badly burnt with a free anti virus system....and it cost me to get my computer fixed...it ruined my trust in the free ones.......I did have Norton...for about 5 minutes.......that was not for me.
I'm happy with what I have got...and that is what it is all about.

Have no idea how these things work Margaret, But was yer trouble wi the free when yeh were using I.E.? Reason i ask that is fact i had no end of trouble when i used it, Switched to firefox many yrs ago n things are fine.
I suspect that Microsoft updates sometimes sabotages Firefox.
I sometimes have had to use system restore to get rid of those updates until Firefox overcomes the sabotage with an update of their own.
I am not very computer savvy - I may be wrong but am just speaking from experience.
I now only download Microsoft updates when I want to.

Yes it was Cashy...so you may have something there...but when trust is lost...it is gone.
I trust what I am using...though I do realise it is like everything in life...it only works if you do(you have to set it up right and make sure you do the updates and scan your system at regular intervals - and make sure you have your back-up up to date).
Margaret, the windows updates ...they do not seem to affect firefox for me...but I could not begin to tell you why that is...I couldn't even hazard a guess.

How do I do that, please Clayton? ( in simple English as Iìm one of those who just pretends to know what she is doing!!
Snap, i aint a clue what hes on about,
Though i dont pretend i,m just computer stupid. lolI think the advice will only make sense if you have the Windows 8 operating system.
I don't....I have windows 7.
I don't....I have windows 7.
Can windows 8 run firefox as an alternative to IE 10........I was alright with IE up to 6 after that I hated it.
if that is the case, I would be shot of IE as soon as.
Windows 8 is not on any new computer bought. Just ordered 2 new Dell PC's with Windows 7 on them
Its funny when I install win7 then do all the updates M$ make you aware of a handful of browsers and gives you the choice to choose an alternate one. It would be odd to purposefully offer you alternatives and then sabotage them. But. That wouldn't surprise me.
I always update IE. I just never use it.
IMO the only reason for not running windows updates is when running an dodgy copy...
Yay to firefox. Though I prefer Chrome now....
