How do i dump Internet Explorer and install Mozilla Firefox , is it safe , is it better , viruses , etc. ?

Answer 1

Don't dump IE. Just do not use it. Install Firefox and start using it. It is totally safe as i am using it so i can say with experience. You can use both IE and Firefox simultaneously.

So don't worry and use Firefox.

Answer 2

Why dump IE? I believe that it's got its hooks into other other programs like your desktop explorer. Go ahead and download Foxfire; it's a great browser and then have the choice between either. Also check out Opera; its good, I have 4 browsers - If one fails I can always pick another. If you download from a reputable source viruses should not be a problem. There are a few good free A/V programs out there.

Answer 3

You can't uninstall IE. So just install FF as you would any other program, and just not use IE.

There are actually still websites that work on IE only, so you'll probably need to uiese it every once in a while.

And as for Fire Fox being better, it is much more customizable, and you can download add-ons that will block ads, java, flash etc... and that helps prevent viruses and spyware, though it won't eliminate them completely.
