I was sure that I had some kind of virus - spyware and adware, actually - but everytime I got rid of it, a new one appeared, or those that should have dissapeared appeared again.Well, the only way of being sure that you have no viruses that I know is keeping your computer shut down. I should have done this, but a man's gotta eat sometimes, isn't it? :) Well, then I chose the next best thing: Linux Operating System, RedHat 9 at the time, to be more precise. Unfortunately, one of my clients needed something done in windows and I had to go back to that infamous Operating System.This time, yet, I didn't want to be surfing and getting all kind of spyware and adware, I wanted to get rid of pop-up windows, I wanted to have a free taskbar (I use to open 20-30 websites at one time), I wanted something that I could modify and add functionality to my needs. The solution? Of course, FireFox."Probably most of you have the same problem (I heard that windows put a pop-up blocker in their windows XP sp2, but I don't think that will do any better, anyway, as their browser SUCKS!!!!).Well, why not download FireFox then and give it a shot.3. Firefox AdvantagesWell, this is where I have a big problem: I don't know where to start.

:)Let's see the advantages in the order I needed at the time:?I just mentioned the above Pop-Up Blocker, a great customizable one, that really kept me away from adware and spyare, as from that annoying pop-up windows with ads that had a powerful sound that scared the hell out of me at night when I was working. :(?Tabbed browsing: I am able to open as many tabs as I want in a window. Imagine, you have three subjects of interest: open first instance with 10 tabs about that subject, open the instance with 7 tabs about second subject and so on. You don't have to look for every window in a 30 windows stack. Trust me, it is a good time saver.?Toolbar Search: I use Google a lot.

Well, I have it in my bar, at a press of a key. It is the same with Ebay, Amazon and IMDB, sites that I search around without having to actually enter the address. There are a lot more to choose, but these are the ones that I need. Oh, Yahoo, too :)?Themes: Did you get tired of the same colours? Choose in about 100 themes available or create you own! yes, you can create your own theme. As an example, I use Little Fox theme, which leaves me a lot of free space on my screen, as it uses small icons and fonts.?Extensions: Now, this is something so good, that I will make a new subchapter for it.

?CSS compliant: Well, for those that are interested, CSS in FireFox looks exactly like the way it is intended to look. Those that don't understand, don't need to :)?Plugins: Flash, Javascript, any plugin you need. Easy to install and use.?Mozilla ThunderBird: It is the email client that pairs with FireFox. My default mail manager, actually. A great one, you should download that too.?Included Download Manager.4.

FireFox ExtensionsWell, this is the cherry on the cake. Let me tell you what these are: ways of improving functionality of your browser. You think you don't need something more?? Well, I thought so until I tried some.I have now these extensions on my computer:?WebDeveloper's Toolbar: Man, I can't live without it now. It shows me anything I need about a website: outlines block elements, table cells, shows table dimensions, image dimensions, clears cache at a press of a button. Really, there is so much to tell about it that I couldn't stop talking for a day.

You really have to try it. Download it here!?Google PageRank: Well, it is one of the most important elements you have to know about your website. I was very happy to see that it is actually both graphic and numeric, so you really know the PR.?Fireftp: You won't need another FTP client ever.?cuneAform: for those HTML editings that you have to do fast on the site.?Download Manager Tweak: A tweak that enhances the download manager already built-in Firefox.?Maybe one of the most important, unfortunatelly: ieview - lets you view a page in IE (bleah). I have to use it in order to check the pages against this browser. Those that need it, know its importance.These are only few of the improvements you can make to your site.

All you really need is go there and choose those that better suit you.Well, I hope that this is enough to make you download Firefox and give it a chance. It will only take 10-15 minutes to fall in love with it and quit your old browser.This article is my modest contribution to Mozilla's well being. I hope to see Firefox 10 :)Contact us in order to find more about it..

This method of installing software onto a users PC was pioneered by the online adult services industry as a way of putting spy and adware programs onto a customers PC without them knowing. Originally confined to adult websites, drive-by downloads of spyware used to be known as the Electronic Pox; a risk the end-user took when visiting adult websites. Of course, just like the first pop-up box, also developed by the adult industry, the rest of the Internet was soon to follow. Thanks to a glaringly obvious design flaw in Microsoft's Outlook Express, which allows emails, including those containing HTML and embedded malevolent code, to be previewed without any warning, Rogue Dialers can be placed onto a victims PC without them ever going near a website. Rogue Dialers are just the next generation of electronic misery which can be inflicted upon the end-user.

Unfortunately for any victims, Rogue Dialers hit the pocket and they hit it hard!In America, one victim of a Rogue Dialer scam racked up some $500 in charges after their modem was hijacked and a premium rate number was contacted on just six occasions. In the UK too, numerous victims have reported huge telephone charges, with some in excess of ?1500 ($2800).The consumer website, Bad Business Bureau has received over 1300 complaints from victims of this latest scam and, while this whole matter is being investigated by Federal Trade Commission in the States and by the Office of Fair Trading in the UK, scammers are already responding with new software which dials numbers in countries where trade controls are lacking.A further blow has recently been delivered to UK based victims with announcements from the leading telecoms providers, BT and NTL that they are "not responsible" for calls which have been made fraudulently and that customers will not be exempted from any charges incurred.Protecting Yourself & Your WalletFirewalls and and anti-virus software WILL NOT provide protection against Rogue Dialer infections. The "drive-by download" method of introducing a Rogue Dialer onto a PC normally involves an ActiveX script and users advised, at the very least, to set their browser settings to either disable ActiveX or warn of its existence. For a more professional approach to protecting your modem, StopItNow, an Australian based software company has released a specific Rogue Dialer killer which retails for just $16.95.To avoid having a Rogue Dialer dumped onto their computer via the preview pane of Outlook Express, users may want to consider an alternative email client such as the freeware program, Eudora.Related Links:

In time, additional international laws may reduce the problem, but for the present at least, every PC user should keep up-to-date anti-spyware software running on their machine..

The Spy Audit by EarthLink reflects the results of scans involving over one million computers between January and March.

Also, you might want or download a program that has some nice features, but also installs program code that can send information out without your knowledge."By tracking and publicizing the growth of spyware, we can better educate consumers of its risks and encourage them to take steps to protect themselves and their families while online," said Christine Stevenson of Webroot, which conducted the scans.People concerned about what might be lurking on their machine can download software such as the popular Zone Alarm, Pest Patrol, and Spybot to disinfect their computer.Lawrence Andrews is a software developer, consultant and author of numerous books.
