Reb - You can also use your copy of MS Word, I like it due to the fact that it has a dictionary function attached to it.

I always type my forum replies in WORD with auto spell correction and then copy and paste them over.

Only takes a couple of seconds more and is also easier for symbols etc.

It even tolerates my "UK English" spelling.

I've moved from Firefox to MS IE

1) Aaaarg! Why???? and 2) Most likely as Firefox has a spellchecker plugin. Firefox also has the Lazarus plugin that saves your posts in case you accidentally lose them r there's a webpage glitch. That's saved my grey cells many times. 3) Download and install Malwarebytes to get rid of any annoying virii in your Flash Player. Then reinstall Flash Player.

Thanks for all the info guys, I'm very satisfied going with Google Chrome. It's very similar to the Firefox format. Don't want to try and fix Firefox, besides, their full page pop up ads were getting annoying...and yes, I did have popups checked as off. IE doesn't save user name and password well, had to always type in something, Google Chrome is just a click or two.

Now, we'll see how long Google Chrome holds up. Sooner or later it seems all browsers go to shit...time will tell.

Great Feedback guys

Firefox don't do full page pop-up ads. I suspect you may have a bit of malware working there.

There's as adblock pop-up blocker for Firefox as well. Honestly I never see a single ad anywhere on the internet. Its great.

I do recommend Firefox, very frequently upadated and a bunch of very good plug-ins.

The caveat to anyone using the internet is to also run a good solid trustworthy AV suite - and if its one of the big popular well-known ons its almost certainly no good!

A malwarebytes sweep once a fortnight is a wise thing to do as well.

I use Firefox as well, and as Saddletank said, the pop-up ad is not Firefox based. Sounds like malware, and I would definitely try to remove it if I were you.

Sounds like a root kit. Those can be nasty to remove.

Very apt analogy. :ohmy:

Chrome has it's own built-in Flash player, so if you decide to stick with it for a while and not use FF or IE (ugh!), I'd go to Programs and Features, and remove the Flash players found there before running a scan. I use Malwarebytes Free and Super AntiSpyware Free, and be sure and update them before scanning. I also use Avast! Free Antivirus. I know I'm relying on a lot of free stuff, but I have a problem with paying for something to remove something I didn't want in the first place.

When I first read about rootkits several years ago, it scared the crap out of me! I'm pleased to report that with sensible surfing practices, and regular updates and scans, I haven't been hit yet. I wish I could say the same for some of my friends, because I've removed all manner of trash from their machines.

By the way, I still keep Firefox around because it has that cool SoW skin!
