I swear by Chrome. I've used both Firefox and IE in the past, and had problems with both. I've found Chrome to be faster, stabler, and more secure.

I guess when you pay an effective overseas tax rate of 2.4%, you can afford to produce great software.

THIS PLACE IS REALLY GETTING screwed UP! I had to go to my history log just to get back to Mormon discussions.

Don't think that just because you use a MAC, or linux or whatnot you can't get a virus. Most malware authors target Windows, but malware exists for all OSs and browsers. The real good stuff and the 0days will bypass your AV.

To date, I have had no issues with viruses on any of my Mac computers.

I did have the dreaded "I love you" virus on my Windows computer a few years ago. Since I installed both Avast and Spybot on our Windows computers, there have been no issues.

Both Avast and Spybot are free, and are excellent resources.

No problems so far with Safari on the Mac or with IE on the PC. PC has Norton Anti-Virus, which seems to work quite well. Switched to Google Chrome on the PC anyway, just in case.

I still suffer from this on my Windows Intel Five Excel system.
No matter what I do to try and correct this my W.I.F.E. system still generates the dreaded "I love you"...

I think that Mav adjusted the coding on MDB so that we are in the clear. I noticed that the chat function is still down.

I can create a separate chat program this evening if it looks like it is going to be a while before we are up and running.

I just made a Global announcement, but in case anyone misses it, I created a new chatroom:
