Any?
May usual one refuses to co-operate with my present setup (might be clashing with graphics card driver, hard to tell).
If it is recognised by Windows Security thug, all the better.

Well, I would also like to mention "Ad-Aware" and "Spybot S&D" if you need protection against spyware.

Norton is horrible.
I settled for Avira in the end, but i got as far as downloading the AVG installer.
Hmm, guess what i really want to do at a later date, is see which of those three is the least demanding on system resources.

Is Mozilla Firefox safer than Internet Explorer?

Yes, and the primary reason is because hackers would rather hack into Internet Explorer because it is used by significantly more people than Mozilla Firefox. Also, Firefox has some very good extensions that can block almost every advertisement.
