I personally suggest Mozilla Firefox. It's far more secure than IE. Reasons being that IE is fully integrated throughout the Windows OS. It is your 'My Computer' and all of that ya know? Firefox is a stand-alone web browser. Also, ActiveX is disabled by default. ActiveX controls are possible reasons why spyware and malware could be affecting your PC. So just head over to
Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable You won't regret it. Give it a whirl...
