Firefox. Gotta go with firefox. My friend says it sucks, but I wouldn't trust IE with all that spyware and popups. If you want a good web browser without the bs, get firefox. It never served me wrong (No I do not work for mozilla).

Personally, Firefox here too, but as long as you aren't using IE, you're a part of the solution, not the problem :lol:

Use a browser you like to use, use one with a beautifull fox Icon, use the friendly tool bar which added to the interface of Mozilla, is still smaller than what you can get.

Oh, I forgot, if you use MSN explorer : you are a retarded. [quite not sorry for you lamer, said I, speaking to a MSN explorer user]

P.S. don't missunderstand : I am talking about msn explorer, not internet Explorer, which is still a pain, but I heard there's some maso :P

In my mind, IE and MSN Explorer are the same thing. Only MSN Explorer has bright shiny buttons :lol:

Shouldn’t we be attacking the software instead of the users? Sayings like “only retards use Internet Explorer (Opera, Firefox, etc.)” are harmful, not to mention inaccurate. :)

IE faster? That's hard to believe. IE caps download speeds rediculsly, but firefox actually uses all the available bandwidth so downloads are faster. I assume page loading uses the same mechanism.

After that, go to the “Content” section (you’ll see a globe) of the window. It’s the very first option in that section. :) Notice the “Allowed Sites” button beside it? You may want to do that instead if you just want pop-ups from a few sites. I believe there is an icon you can press in the statusbar to view blocked pop-ups, but I can’t test that at the moment.

Oh, my instructions were only for Firefox 1.5. The options window is radically different for older releases.

BUMP. I think this is an article you should re-do for attempting to revive the site. You should include Chrome in there, though. Chrome is amazing.

Hi guys,

I really like firefox as you can use the address bar as a google search bar as well as an address bar! however the only thing is I have a stopzilla virus and every time I search in fire fox it redirects to a stopzilla search.

Does any one know how to remove it?

Ryan "I followed a few of your google links ;-) how is that going for you?

you could always use www.run10.com as your internet home page and use the google explorer search bar from there..

Try this; I always run it first and it seems to remove ALOT of crap, although, it's actually designed to remove SpySherrif.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/smitfraudfix.php

Here's a link with instructions:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic22402.html

If any windows open as it starts to run-DON'T CLOSE THEM-just minimize them, or drag them to get them out of the way. Some virus files will try to kill your anti-virus.

Her's a link with all the free online scanners:

http://hubpages.com/hub/Top-Free-Online-Virus-Scan

Run them ALL, I run 2 at a time, as they all will find something different.

Here's a link specific to Stopzilla:
