Firefox will end your problems with pop-ups and ad/spy/malware.

5. firefox or avant browser
although my Avant browser has a fucking problem regarding the importation of my settings and faves from firefox, because I won't download and install that biatch SP2.

PS. Those asshats aren't sorry for the inconvenience at all. If they were, it wouldn't keep happening.

have you restarted your computer? Sometimes that gives it amnesia, and it forgets its problems.

6. You Should Do the Following
If IE is crashing, it may be do to a worm, trojan, virus, malware, adware and/or spyware.

1. Run your virus checker in Safe mode
2. Download and run Adaware SE
3. Download Firefox from Mozilla.org
4. Stop using IE for any page that will run in Firefox
5. Make sure your operating system has been updated

There are a couple of nasty worms out there that you can't get rid of without reformatting your computer. It is sad, but true. We had to nuke my boss's computer last week. Last summer she couldn't understand why I refused to download and open her email attachments. Now she knows.
