3 questions

1) can u still get adware, spyware, etc with firefox?

2)if you can do you get alot less or wut?

3)if i have firefox, AVG, Ad-Ware, and Spybot...will i most likely be okay as far as protection? well, as long as i dont do anything stupid (ie CLICK HERE YOUR A WINNER!...i love that commercial)

1 Yes you can still get infected but unlikely remember no browser is perfect firefox is alot more secure than IE

2 You will lessen your chances dramatically if you go firefox.

3)that is a good collection and just because you have firefox you will still need to keep your OS and internet exploerr up todate.

yes/no

NO BROWSER IS PERFECT
However, you can make firefox much more secure with extensions!!!!!!!

Here are a few i recommend

NoScript-blocks all java script on websites, however you can accept or decline it.

Spoofstick- protects against spoofing

Trust Bar- protects against phishing

Firefox should be good... buyt like said above it wouldnt hurt to get spyware or ad-ware .. i hate IE

 

[coolted]

you can still get spyware with firefox it just harder for it to come in. I would recommend getting Spyware doctor b/c it cleans what it finds and its very fast
