Firefox 3 is doing a great job of blocking cookies/viruses/etc.

I've noticed since I downloaded Firefox 3 I don't have to scan my PC as often. It seems Firefox 3 is blocking most the cookies/viruses/etc. that cause my computer to slow down. Before, when I used to scan my computer I used to get anywhere between 100-300+ infections. Now, I only get like 2-60 so it doesn't slow down my computer as often which means I don't have to scan as often.

Thank you Firefox 3! ^_^

LOL.

Anyway, cookies are not "infections" and contrary to popular belief, they're not harmful.

Also, the reason your computer was slow was do to a memory leak in the browser.  They've done a good job of patching that.
