Firefox before v3 did have memory leak issues, that's all fixed
now.
It matters not when I simply hate the way it works, the
interface, everything.
I'll take memory leak over having a browser like IE that's
susceptible to any run of mill script kiddie.
I keep hearing that, and yet I have no problems with it.
So tell me, what are you running to stop the ads and the scripts
and things of that nature?
ZoneAlarm Suite. It's very flexible, and is a combination
anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-spyware, and firewall. Much less
obtrusive than Norton's, much more effective than AVG at
virus/trojan control.
I tried ZoneAlarm and found it the biggest piece of garbage I'd ever
seen for a firewall. I simply use my netgear hardware firewall that
does SPI, and Windows Firewall.
Yes, ZoneAlarm is a POS.
AVG version 8 is remarkably effective. It even says that FoxIE is a
trojan.
Version 8 wreaked havoc on my machine because of the scanning time, and
it never found anything. The machine was clean.
Norton Internet Firewall products just suck, plain and simple.
Agreed.
I'm surprised AVG sucked that badly for you. The pic at link is of my
scan settings:

Thanks for the graphic, Tony. I had them *all* checked. Perhaps that's
why the long hours of scanning.
Having said that, I have similar settings in the Cox McAfee suite as I did
in AVG, and my scan only runs about 45-50 minutes.
