Anybody heard of the Winfixer browser hijack? I hadn't. Bitch had windows popping up like I hadn't seen in YEARS. Just spent about an hour of my precious spare time fixing this crap, but NEVER AGAIN.

I was always one of those smug bitches that said "well I run a tight ship, and I've never had any problems with IE" - but this shit still snuck in, despite using the autoupdaters and all that rubbish.

So I see Firefox has completed downloading. So long Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)!

I'll see you in HELL!

If you're looking for alternatives you should give Opera a shot ziggy. FF is great but it's a bit of a memory hog. Once Opera decided to offer their browser for free I gave it another shot and haven't looked back.

eh, no thanks. i've seen what opera does, as it is the default previewer for goLive. if i were concerned about system usage i'd just use moox.

in fact, i'll prolly do that anyway.
