What took me so damn long? Firefox

I just downloaded Firefox browser. It's like lightning fast, WOW!

I kept getting messages telling me that I couldn't use a site because of IE version I was using, but my system would not update to allow the installation of IE9. So long microsoft, hello Mozilla

As a long time firefox user, chrome is better in almost every way.

Congrats on ditching IE!!!

If you use Chrome, keep a copy of Junk File Removal Tool handy. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/junkware-removal-tool/
When you see what it finds, you will most likely uninstall Chrome.
