good post

it's a shame these scumbags are so far ahead of the anti-scumware crowd

As I don't think its going away soon

do u mean when webpages dont load at all or on mozilla it says this document contains no data? or is that another problem?

yesi do run adaware and spyware frequently, and i have firewalls software/hardware

good info. if you are using IE, quickly switch over to mozilla firefox. mozilla firefox is way better than IE.

I agree completely. This is so frustrating in the computer labs I am maintaining. This is a major problem along with students clogging our computers with their programs like IM, chats, and games.

These labs get used as classrooms M-T and Saturday as well. I am currently in a never ending, loosing battle. Thank god we are currently in the process of developing policies and rules that will allow me and other student workers to go as far as kicking people out of labs except for classes.

That will teach them hopefully.

See, I don't think so!

Yes, yes mozilla has more features, etc etc.

But...IE loads faster for me, I am used to it's interface and move more quickly around it. Almost all webpages are 100% compatible with it. You can clear history and cookies easier with it. Media player and other media players don't need to be "checked-in." Really, it's mainly because I am just used to it.

Of course the downfalls are spyware, active x hijacks blah blah.

I tried Mozilla and for some damn reason I am back to IE. Behold the powers of Microsoft.

It is!
