[dba-Tech] Windows ME Malware problem

I just use FireFox for my browser and Sygate for my software firewall 
(even tho I have a hardware one as well).

Firefox does not enable ActiveX by default so in that respect you don't 
have to worry about spyware programs auto-loading on your pc. 2ndly, it 
prevents popups that you don't want. and lastly, Google is a built in 
search add-in that sits next to the address bar and works so nice, it's 
always there and you can choose to add more search addins of your liking 
:) ie, ebay ;o).
