I use Opera for most online activity but sometimes it isn't supported. Then I use the latest Firefox. I only resort to IE last. Both McAfee and Norton were destroyed by a bug at different times so I know they don't always work. My Inet server used AVG for a while but now they've switched back to Norton...sigh. And it let in a Trojan, one of the backdoor type. Found it when I downloaded a neat little package called "Advanced WindowsCare V2 personal" and ran it to see why my machine was so slow. A Japanese site dumped over 3000 cookies and junk on me including porn images in my browser cache that I never knew was there...sigh. Reclaimed over 25gb of disk space using this program. I did not pick up the virus or Trojan here and have no idea how long it was sitting on my computer. This program also cleaned it for me. Now I run it on a regular basis.
