well it should and if not just give it a differant name

you can always delete the old name (read only) and then do a rename

on the save screen uncheck read only under options

if you have problems with that simply save it under a differant name

Here is a nice popup and ad blocker I have been using for years!!

http://proxomitron.info/files/index.html

Not to be a smartazz but I have not seen a popup or even an ad in months - just dont allow them unless it is from a site you know - like paying a bill etc.

yeah - lotta times stuff looking to help you is really the spyware or worm

figured that out a while ago - but even the wary who get overconfident can get taken in!

happens to the best of us

I grew up around one - 13 party line with a differant ring for each party

those were the days!!!!!!!!

That is impossible - anyone not thinking the report is flawed should be in a phsyc ward and very heavily medicated

Im going to try kmeleon see what thats like,  anything to get away from IE

Give opera a try if you dont like ie - it is free now with no banner ads

www.opera.com

"once you're on a 8Mb/s connection, it really don't matter no more ROFL."

If you have an ancient system like I have - 300mhz - it matters - but like you said what differance does a few seconds make.

I have found IE and Opera to be faster then FF on downloads.

The absolute fastest is a little known browser called k-meleon

I think CPU speed and memory  is a factor and at any given time anyone can outdo the other.

Dont agree that VZ is not pushing DSL - all I get in the mail and newspaper is ads for 768 dsl for 14.95 a month.

Since I started out with 300 baud - I am quite happy with 3/768

frankly i think hell will freeze over before the us relinquishes control of the web or even parts of it to the likes of china, north korea, iran and france.

yeah what resopalrabotnick said

never happen

Get yourself a cheap  Volt Ohm Meter and learn how to use it - they are very cheap (less then 15 dollars for a cheap one) easy to learn to use and will save you loads of time in helping you solve problems like this.

They are very very handy

I am not worried about my Dell either - it is a 300mhz laptop and works great. When I really am feeling frogy I buckle up and use my 366mhz Dell laptop.

Also if you purchased it more then 3 weeks ago - it is allready obsolete!!

Ever hear of Moores law which states (and has held for the last 20 years) that processor doubles speed every 18 months.

well, as long as people call a haphardly cobbled together woodshed project browser the best thing since sliced bread in spite of all its shortcomings i will happily bash it every chance i get.

I thought a browser was for browsing the web with as much ease as possible - I can go to more sites easier and faster with FF then with IE - I can click on links and visit them later. I can do in 5 minutes what would take 30 in IE  - I really do not care how it is thrown together as long as it is powerfull and easy to use. Who cares what a  haphardly cobbled together woodshed project it is. It is light years ahead of IE, along with opera - k-meleon and just about everything out there. If IE ever gets better then FF I will back to it in a second -

when has a product existing ever stopped anyone from putting a cheap copy on the market. look at firefox...

Do you ever miss an oppurtunity to bash FF?? - the thread is about virus protection - and when you get right down FF make IE look like people who were striving for something less then even a poor product developed it.

Give it a break!!!

Lock him up and throw the key away and give him TRS-80s to past the time

Dude - you forgot country - cannot just put country under other - what has the world come to?????

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the server is not responding. If you entered a URL or path to play the file, verify that it is correct. If you clicked a link to play the file, the link may not be valid.

Whether (insert name of browser) is the "best" is open for argument. I say no browser is 100% better than the others. Each has it own good and not so good things about it.

I personally prefer Firefox. BTW, yes Opera is now free. I never understood why someone would want to pay for a browser when all of the others are free.

In the not too distant past - 4 or 5 years ago Opera was without a doubt the best browser and well worth the money (they got plenty of subscribers), now as you say each has there good points and bad points and with FF getting much more stable, Opera was forced to go free. It and FF still make IE look like it was done by people striving for something less then mediocity. I will not say idiots developed IE as that would be an insult to idiots, but that is how I feel!!

Make sure you got backup b4 running any cleaners

Opera has been free for about a month - no banner no ads - free

It is fast and has tabbed browsing and a nice look  - give it a shot - its free and has been around for a long time - actually it and FF  are about =

I use it now and then just for a change

opera.com the best browser on the planet - and 2nd fastest - k-meleon is the fastest

Actually Opera is the fastest for me - and a browser called k-meleon is also faster then IE(UGH) or FF

I think it depends on how quick your system is and what ad blockers and firewalls are running
