karim06 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Yup I have encountered severe problems with IE even if its genuine OS of Microsoft (WinXP). The units are used on an internet cafe. That time I was using bitdefender as my anti-virus. I have set IE as the default browser and guess what happened. Java scripts flooded the IE cache with worms and viruses along with it. Bitdefender then was not able to block the attack. The processor usage and hard disk activity goes up leaving you with an unresponsive unit. The unit hangs up during start up. Why? Bitdefender tries to block it but it causes the system to stop up or worse hang up.I removed the harddrive then and have it virus-scanned in an another unit.During the scan the anti-virus finds lots of it in the IE cache and the Windows/system32 folder as well.That was such a headache for me so I decided to return to Mozilla Firefox.I didn't encountered anymore problems and I replaced my anti-virus as well with AVG(FREE). Firefox browser is still the best. Quote Link to comment

bchangco1 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Firefox is currently the best Quote Link to comment
Viola Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 still firefox but i'm falling in love with ie7. only because i'm a web designer and i'm concerned with how my website will look. on ie7 my website looks way better than firefox. the downside however is sometimes, i have to 'alter' my css in a way that it would fit ie7, firefox and older version of ie. i just downloaded opera and i kinda like it. but basically firefox is still the best. hope they can give me better display in the future though.

attikus_pinch Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 i am using IE7 for quite sometime now and i havent encountered any problems with it yet.i like the way it has been set up, less clutter and lighter in the eye. the ability to hide much of the toolbars makes browsing more enjoyable esp if youre using a laptop....

businessgeeks Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 According to web designer officemate, the compliance of Internet Explorer 7 is a big improvement over IE6 but still not there. Both Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and Opera 9.10 has maintained to a high degree of compliance with the current w3c standards. I wonder whats keeping Microsoft from doing just that. besides they have a lot of resources for it. Quote Link to comment

sho munaki Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Mozilla Firefox is the way to go, as I don't even bother to use Internet Explorer anymore. Quote Link to comment
Mr. J Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Mozilla Firefox, I have been using it since version 1.0 and I found it to be stable and more secured than IE.. as they release security updates faster than Microsoft. Quote Link to comment
