2. Ad Aware, Spybot are my favorites
Install Firefox, and you don't have to worry about ads, but it's still a good idea to run Spybot regularly.

5. 'Tis free.
Go to this link.

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

You can download it for free. I like Internet Explorer the best but I do like Firefox too.

8. You could also try Opera browser
It is a much smaller download (good for us with slow dialup connections.) I started using it two years ago and it was the best investment I ever made.

No popups and handy mouse gestures. Built in email client and too, too many other great features to list.

I never use IE anymore -- 'course, I never did. It didn't exist when I started using the Internet. Netscape was my browser of choice until it was "broken."

11. Yes . . . it is free to use
Just choose the "Google ad" when you install it.

However, when I downloaded it and started learning about all its features, I bought it. It is the best software I've ever downloaded, and the only downloaded software I've ever eventually purchased. ('Cause I'm broke too.)

Check out this very helpful site and you too will become an "Opera lover."
