No internet explorer. opened A dodgy email by mistake it took over my pc even removing my anti virus software.
This thing was really bad the guy who fixed it said it was the worst infection he had dealt with in a long time.

You should definitely get FireFox. I used to be an ardent IE supporter. Then I started using FF occasionally so I could add boxart to the games database. I never looked back. (If you do get it, get the Adblocker add-on too. No popups, no banner ads. really nice)

Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it
