How I got saved by Firefox

I always had problems with IE. I got my system filled with spyware and virusses, causing the whole system to stop working correctly so I had to reinstall Windows all the time. From that moment I wanted to know if there were any other browsers, so I searched with google. There I found a link to a browser called Mozilla Firefox. I installed it on my system and ran it. The first thing I noticed was the utility to import IE settings and files. Then the user interface loaded, and it looked really refreshing. 

 I was playing a bit with firefox, until I came on a website that needed Flash. So I thought, oh no I have to go to the website of macromedia, download and install flash on my system (much work). But then I saw the bar "Plugin needed, Install plugin". I clicked on it and it installed the plugin directly. I didn't even had to restart the browser! I was totally amazed. From that moment, I never had any malware on my system. So I actually got saved by firefox.

 I'm also recommending other people to use firefox. I even preinstall it on PCs that I build for others.

 I shall use firefox for ever! :)

So true! the problem getting through to people is education! Once they know about the benefits people switch forever!
