[pchelpers] Re: download problem

Ginger,
I am not able to explain why Firefox is better except to say it is safer 
because it doesn't allow malicious sites to download malware onto your 
computer the way IE does. I'm sure Ekhart and others here can do a much 
better job than that. If you type your question into Google you will 
find much information on the subject. One explanation I found was here:
http://www.lockergnome.com/news/2004/06/15/why-you-should-dump-internet-explorer/

Even this site only scratches the surface.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
