MOZILLA


Second that. Mozilla has in the past year and a half come a long way and
is now leading the pack, meaning it is full-featured, stable and ahead of
the rest in terms of support for web standards (see webstandards.org).

I don't recommend using the latest betas, though, unless you *want* to be
a tester. Use the most recent stable relase for least hassle.

I'm using 1.4 beta and have had Zero problems with any part of it ..... so
far,
and I use the mail client as my main, default reader.

Others in the security realm, the best currently available:

Norton Antivirus


I don't much care for any of the big marketing names in virus software.

I use F-prot, a highly regarded product (not to be confused with a highly
marketed product) from a small company in Iceland (Frisk Software,
http://f-prot.com/). Their 'engine' is used by quite a few "big names"
and large corporate clients internationally.

In the junk-busting category, I use privoxy (privoxy.org - free, open
source, all major platforms) for ad blocking/filtering, site/popup
blocking and all that good stuff. It's highly configurable *and* the
defaults work really well for the most part. Has a web configuration
interface.

Thanks for these great references, John; I'll seek these out, d/l
and test drive.

Cheers,

LL
