After what I've read is FF and IE about equally, because hackers find it more attracktive to hack thou FF than IE. Most people that uses FF are more expirenced users of computers, and might have more "interesting" information than unexpiriened users. And as FF has become bigger, more security vulnerabilities has been discovered. Best is to use a browser that's not eaven mentioned anywhere, but still uses its own engine.
I use IE the few times Opera is rejected by the site. And I'v enever had any viruses, trojans or spywares. And this is because I NEVER click OK or Yes on a dialog before I've read it and understood it. And also then I will click No or Cancel if I find it suspect. I never accepts ActiveX or downloadable applications when browsing webpages that's not from a big known secure company. :\

I hate when I get the job to fix a computer for free that someone else have fucked up. Man, if you let a contractor do it, they will charge you up to 100 € per hour.

1.28€ for 98, but usually we buy 95 (because almost every car uses that ) which is 1.24€. Something is cheaper here!

95 is weak for one 6am streetracer wannabe with a 2003 Fiesta Now getting back to topic, FF have more plugins that improve the security online. one of my recomonded add-ons is the 'ad block plus'

Another cool plugin for FF is "FireFTP". It's a simple FTP client that integrates in FTP. It remembers the ftp-adresses, usernames and passwords, so you just have to click a server and *poof*: You are connected Check it out

Well actully when you want to block adds in Opera you RMB on the page and "Block content...", Now just freely chooce what you want to block!
And Opera supports FTP by default, and have a great passwordmanager, so you just have to bookmark the FTP-folder, and it can logon to that folder with just two clicks (the bookmark and the wand botton).
