IE or FF? or others.

And I'm pretty sure IE7 ripped all of the graphics from Firefox. At least, it appears that way.

Isn't that like saying that Ford stole Chevrolet's ideas because they both have tires?

Ford was around, before Chevy, and IE was around before FF. I doubt they stole anything.. Besides, it may be simply a matter of great minds thinking alike. <--- cool smiley.

Maybe.. maybe. They look identical to me. Not that care, though, I don't use IE or FF. :razz:

now i'm sure there's no need to install an antivirus. thanks for the link!

Umm... viruses can infect other files. Chances are you got one at some point and it infected everything it got its hands on. Do something about it as soon as you can.

FF, because I can no longer browse without using tabs.

Yeah, but no.

Firefox has always been related to Netscape, and that browser dates back to 1994 (Released as a beta under the name Mosaic). IE only goes back as far as 1995 or possibly not even back that far.

Go here for information.

You know thats kinda sad. Netscape's been around so long and its used least.

I would use Netscape but the load times are horrible... Or were.

Still, I wonder if it is a theft thing, or just that there is a finite amount of features available and only now are all the browsers deciding to incorporate some common ones.

I am still using IE6, I don't just jump on band wagons so I am not real sure what the most recent perks are about these browsers everyone is raving over.

In the end, if Ford or Chevy gives you the ride you like, who cares what tabs it has?

You sound like Bush talking about the Iraq. Seriously, if your PC was a human being he had terminal cancer and AIDS. Do something, that's really dangerous!

Why snark works.

text files are dangerous? the dlls were eliminated, the exe files are programs that i downloaded/installed myself. it's ok, there's nothing to worry about!

Well, I didn't know the program actually deleted them. Harmless-looking exe files can contain a virus, of course. So you might have installed a virus-free program but whenever you launch it you might also launch a few kilobytes of code that was added later.

Anyway, I just wanted to save you some trouble, man. Viruses look harmless until the day they get really nasty (which usually is a day before you need to print an important file that is then forever lost).

I'll stop now but don't say I didn't warn you :wink:

hehe. ok, thanks for warning me.

Seriously, if your PC was a human being he had terminal cancer <i style="color: white;">and</i> AIDS.

Best.

It's not sad. Almost the entire originating Netscape team works with the Mozilla Group ... if you want to support them: use Firefox. AOL bought Netscape in the mid-late 90s and just grounded it to dust, by trying to whore out the suite in the same vein as MS does with IE. They also packed mandatory pieces of software like AIM and AOL into the browser. Just really clunky stuff. They also demanded that the browser be released on many occasions before it was done.

Just to note, IE was someone else's browser licensed to Microsoft under a new name (I don't remember the name it was Sky something). They were sued for it as well, because they weren't paying the company any royalties. They got out of that by saying they didn't sell IE it was packaged with Windows for free.

The things they introduced to make IE "better" are exactly what people exploit to gain access to your computer (active x, for example). While it allowed people incredible control over the browser ... it had to be executable code, which allowed access to the machine's hardware ... so they just made a streamline of access into the heart of your computer.
