Firefox is safer, but now that you got that ZoneAlarm doohickey(sic), I wouldn't worry about it so much, unless you visit high-risk sites frequently.

You know, I'm using ZoneAlarm, but it has slowed my Internet down a lot. And it's a little annoying to have to tell it to allow everything either access or no access. I'll keep trying it out, though...

You can decrease the warnings by switching them off under "warnings and protocolls" (or whatever it´s called in the english version ) than go to "generell" and switch it off.

 

Just think about which programms you want to allow to get acces to the internet. The only programms which are allowed to do so on my pc are those who are just really needed (relevant internet protocolls, browsers, online-games).

 

And firefox works faster for me than Iexplorer. Go to the Mozilla forums and search for that problem and I guess you will find something to solve it. I guess this site was optimated for the Iexplorer. That´s why you can´t see any dividers by using the firefox. I guess that must be Evaders job.

If ZoneAlarm is slowing your PC down maybe you should try Kerio or Ashampoo. Both are free for personnal use.
