The best(and free) removal tool for parasite is Adaware

To IE community (me included): Is time to change to Mozilla ( http://www.mozilla.org ) or opera ( http://www.opera.com ) browsers. Are more fast, secure and reliable than our IE. I can assure that you'll enjoy the. Try them now!!

Xarxo has the clue. I've put a good word for Mozilla every now and then when this issue comes up and I have to say that the ultimate reason for most crap related to MSIE has to do with ActiveX and also cookies if you don't enforce any strict policies. Right now I also recommend the light weight version of Mozilla's Gecko GUI; Phoenix. It's very light and it works well. Also a good choice is Mozilla 1.2.1. At least so far it's working great. If you prefer something abit more commercial, Netscape 7.01 is a good choice too. After using Opera 7 Beta for ~1 month now, I can recommend it too, but I find some of the functions abit illogical for a old Netscape/Mozilla user. However you get used to it and it works well. The only minus are the ads as the free version is adware. Also blocking any pop-ups is easier in Mozilla/Netscape, but Opera is still far better than MSIE.

Hmm, I only ever use IE when Opera doesn't work.....but I still have 3 parasites.

Sorted now. Cheers Mark.

I just use my hostfile (600Kb in size!) to filter out all the ad sites. Works just as well.

Not to bash panag, but everybody please ignore grc.com and Steve Gibson. He knows next to nothing about internet security. This is a proven fact. grc.com is nothing more than a cheap scam to promote Steve Gibson and his software. It is amazing how many people listen to him. Do a google search for grc or Steve Gibson and you'll quickly find a host of links to sites where the truth about Steve Gibson is "revealed".

If you dont believe me try looking here
