I am so over protected now that it makes it a chore just to play games, lol.
You have to shut all that shit down to load them, lol.

By the way, how do you replace IE with this firefox browser if you're running XP?
Do you have to uninstall IE? or can you even do that?

I'd like a more stable browser myself...

IE will technically remain integrated into XP, since there's no real way to seperate it. But once you install Firefox, it will ask you if you want it to be the default browser. If you say "yes" it will update your file associations, and you'll be prompted to import your bookmarks & cookies over from MSIE during installation.

After that, just delete that stupid blue "e" from your desktop and forget you have it. I've been using Firefox since Beta 0.5 both with Windows and Linux and I never went back to any other browser.

Cool, thanks for the info, Ford!

No problem. The subject matter in this thread, I could do in my sleep.

If I ever slept.....

You need to see a doctor about that, i am.
Lack of sleep is bad for the heart, man.

The body has this internal clock thing going on where it likes to rest at night. when i was working temp on third shift at P&G awhile back i slept during the day but never seemed to rest up properly.

Then my doctor told me that statistically, 3rd shifters had higher risks of coronary disease because they never get the proper rest the body needs.
I guess the proof could be in my uncle who spent 30 years on 3rd shift and died of an aneurism in his heart at age 59, and he was the baby of the family and a health nut to boot.

Seriously, insomnia can be a killer.
I recommend seeing your doctor if you haven't already, bro...

I saw FORD's post about not sleeping and it hit me hard. I hate not getting enough sleep and I can tell lately that I am just stressed out to the hilt.

I'd like to mention that this SpyFalcon thing has completely crippled my IE at home. I'm going to format tonight or tomorrow morning and reload everything.

Thanks again for the help, guys. I appreciate it.

I'll be running Mozilla from now on, too.

I have been running with Firefox for over a year.

FUCK MICROSOFT!

I run their OS because it is the most common one, and the software have will not always run on Linux or Mac.

So MS are a necessary evil.

But Firefox kicks Internet Explorers ass.

I will never use IE again.

Oh and yes, all you haveta do is download Firefox and install.

Easy as sin.

Well, maybe not THAT easy, but ya know what I mean...
