Hi Bob
Avant seems to just be an extension of IE so it's just as insecure as IE
and as much a hog of system resources.

Internet Explorer Considered Harmful
Internet Explorer does not empty browser cache correctly:

I haven't tried K-Meleon yet, but it's based on Mozilla 1.5 and is
therefore a much better choice.
Mozilla Firebird is the browser of the future, a further development of
Mozilla, PCWorld's Best of 2003 browser
(www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,110653,pg,11,00.asp) with
industry-leading standards compliance.
Firebird and Thunderbird are already the best browser and e-mail
programs even though they're officially still in the predevelopment stage.

Why You Should Switch to the Mozilla Firebird browser
Since they slow down the system, are unreliable, prone to virus
attacks, and a general nuisance, it's a good idea to get rid of Outlook
or Outlook Express and use Internet Explorer only for Windows Update.
