do you mean FireFox?? - It's a browser by Mozilla
[With more than 15,000 improvements, Firefox 3 is faster, safer and smarter than ever before.] {FF is very nice - you might as well try it out since you have it installed already} here's a listing of free anti virus for information and if you want to download - it's a good place - http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0....rus&tag=srt.er

I prefer Firefox as well. Sites load in a snap.
I must admit to using IE on some sites, such as MSN Games. Since it is a Microsoft site, IE seems to work better. But for most browsing, Firefox is a winner.
