I always use firefox. I like it for it's extra fuctions and cusmization options, with all the extensions and themes. I also like it because it is not a microsoft product and is open source. Not to mention it's standards compliance and extra security.
It's pretty cool, but what's really the point of it?it takes a lot longer to hear all of the results read to you than to read them yourself.It might be helpful to people who have trouble reading, but it won't be the next big thing because of it's limited application.do you actually use it when you are looking for something.
I like GAIM as a program, as it is open source and has many options.But mostly I only chat on msn, don't particularly like it over any other network, just that it is what all my friends use. I think that is usually pretty much the deciding factor for most people.
I use both Ad-aware and Spybot S&D. I believe that they are both really good programs especially when used in combination.You must remember though that no one program can get everything so it is always nessecary to use a combination. And also try to avoid getting spyware in the first place, don't download anything that looks to dodgy and don't use IE as it is much more vunerable to thesesort of threats.
