Firefox: the Secure Choice
Filed under:
A recent study suggests that Mozilla Firefox is tremendously safer to use than the more prevalent Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer users can be as much as 21 times more likely to end up with a spyware-infected PC than people who go online with Mozilla’s Firefox browser, academic researchers from Microsoft’s backyard said in a recently published paper.
In other news, the number of spyware per PC in Europe exceeds a dozen!!
Computer users whose machines have been hijacked by potentially dangerous software are being asked to add their tales of woe to an online campaign.
In Poland, 867 of every 1,000 domestic PCs have been infected by trojans, unsolicited programs that can allow remote users to control the machine.
