Firefox - the web browser of choice

If you haven't made the switch yet, I highly recommend you switch from using the Internet Explorer web browser to Mozilla's Firefox web browser. Here, you can watch a cute little video. (Requires the free Flash Player.)

After you've downloaded Firefox and installed it, be sure to follow these instructions for safer web browsing:

1. Launch Firefox by clicking on it's desktop icon.


2. From the drop-down menu at the top of the browser, select TOOLS and choose OPTIONS.


3. In the OPTIONS dialog box that pops up, click the PRIVACY icon and then choose the SETTINGS button in the lower right corner.


4. When the "Clear Private Data" dialog box pops up, select all the items under "Private Data" and then under "Settings," be sure to select "Clear private data when closing Firefox."


5. Last of all, click "OK."

Now, every time you start or close Firefox, you will see a "Clear Private Data" dialog box. Be sure to click the button that says "Clear Private Data Now" to clean up before and after browsing the web. This one little step will help keep most spyware off your computer. However, I still recommend using Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy to do a more thorough cleanup job.
