Mozilla Firefox

Have you ever stumbled on to a site in the hope to find free downloads for your favorite mp3, pictures or avi movie/anime only to be disappointed and then clicking back and later finding out that you have been contaminated with a spyware or two? This is why having an antivirus or adware-preventional program is important in the protection of your computer, but with the amount of program available out there which ones do I choose? And why do they cost so much?

There has to be a cheaper, simpler way to surf the net without worry right? Well, fortunately there is. I've been using the net for years, and had many unpleasant experiences surfing here and there with the suspicion that the sites might contain an annoying virus, spywares, adwares, worms, trojans and website Hijacks only to get them anyways since i don't have any programs to guard against them. So what is the solution? The cheap one that is? Use a different browser.

The Mozilla Firefox is basically an internet browser similar to the standard Microsoft or Netscape Explorer containing features like the back, forward, refresh, stop, home, favorites, etc. However unlike the popular Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox offers a safe web surf and guard against harmful websites that are often developed to exploits the weakness in the internet explorer.

So how does it work? Basically since Firefox is a whole new browser/program, it does not contain the same weaknesses/vulnerabilities as the older browsers like Microsoft, and so offer safer surfing. However, do not confuse higher security with total security. What I mean is even though it’s a lot safer with the Mozilla Firefox there is still potential risk in visiting suspicious sites that usually offer free mp3, game patches, cracks, etc.

Back to the bright side, since switching from the Microsoft to Firefox browser I have not caught a single spy-ware of any sort. Other great features that comes with Firefox is it’s’ ability to block many annoying popup usually for advertising purpose. Another benefit that I enjoy is its’ tab features, where you can run multiple sites in one browser window using a tabs for each site instead of opening a window each time. The Firefox is user friendly and also free for download; click here to go to the download page Mozilla Firefox.
