[LocoGT]

I have never had any major problems w/IE

 

[JaysGreenLX]

I had Firefox and I couldn't do shit with it. Half of the stuff on any given website wouldn't show up.

I went back to IE. I don't have pop up or slowdown issues either.

its the sites that you visit that give you the spyware and adware. if its free or pics and videos, they are loading up that stuff on your computer. the reason it gets slow is because it fills up your cache bin. just delete your temporary internet files and cookies every few days if you are on sites like these often.

Basically, if you go to a lot of porn sites, then you are going to have problems. :nono:
