Firefox:
At only 4.7MB (Windows), Firefox takes just a few minutes to download over a slow connection and seconds over a fast connection. The installer gets you set up quickly, and the new Easy Transition system imports all of your settings – Favorites, passwords and other data from Internet Explorer and other browsers – so you can start surfing right away!

Virus Problems:
Wtechlink recommends free virus protection from Grisoft.  Be sure to update the Antivirus Definitions before you run it. Download the free edition and run it at least once a week.

If you use another Anti-Virus Client such as Norton, please be sure that your subscription service is up to date, it is automatically downloading updates frequently, and you schedule scans of your hard drive(s) once a week.

Disclaimer: Wtechlink is not responsible for any issues related to malicious programs (viruses) downloaded from the Internet. It is the individual computer user’s duty to protect his/her computer from threats on the Internet. Because the tools are available to prevent and fix these problems, we believe that worms/viruses are a very minimal problem only if the user takes preventative measures against them. We do guarantee that if you’re not running an anti-virus client and you are connected to the Internet in any way your computer will be infected.

Spyware Problems:
If your computer is slowing down or you have excessive pop-ups your computer is probably infected with Spyware & Adware, programs which attach themselves to your computer through the interactivity of webpages, in order to spy on your browsing habits and or deliver pop-up ads.  Wtechlink recommends Ad-aware, a removal tool which works similar to an Anti-Virus. Be sure to update Ad-aware before you run it.  Run it at least once a week.
