I think I am more holy than geek, nevertheless I managed to remove a worm from my computer this week going into areas of its entrails (the computer not the worm) where I had never been before... exciting..     Well done! Do I keep IE and then have two browsers??     Yes. Keep IE... there are some things, such as Curl and CurlChat, that run better on IE.   How about all the favourites files , do they get copied over??   Yes, it will prompt you to import your favorites.   What else do I have to know before I carry out this dangerous but interesting sounding mission..     It was straightforward to install when i did it. You can read through the info on the web site if that will give you a comfort level, but i just boldly went where no browser has gone before - on this computer, at least.   Does it have an accompanying e-mail program?     There is Mozilla Thunderbird mail - i have had it installed and configured since early Sprint, but not really used yet. Others i know are using it. I just ran Ad-Aware and SpyBot and they found 42 new spyware dingies that came in since the day before yesterday...sheesh..   The one Lobster suggested this week - Spyware Doctor is good too - and it has a quick run option that runs pretty fast, much faster than SpyBot.   Good luck and happy Jewish New Year to everyone.   love and peace, joyce     love and happy Jewish new year, Sam     I'm feeling a bit suspicious of Spyware Doctor.. You can download a 'free' scan... It finds immediately many spy dingies.. some of which it describes as dangerous.. gives you the creeps .. makes your hair stand on end...many more than either ad-aware or spybot found when I checked a few minutes later... BUT... it doesn't remove them unless you buy ... and it costs 40 euros which is a lot of moola..  very convincing I almost bought it and I might yet, but I want to hear what some of you may have to say about it.. what keeps a company from running a scam instead of a scan??? Lobster, are you there??   Love, sam ----- Original Message ----- From: Know Mystery To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2004 2:07 PM Subject: Re: [HolyGeek] Fox Faqs Hi Sam and All -   Firefox is a web browser that is faster and more secure than Internet Explorer.
