best internet browser?, anyone know? Options

[*mona lisa*]

do any of you know any good internet servers? i have IE6 but i have soo many problems with it, including pop-ups and spyware and i have tons of programs to prevent both of them. recently i've been getting porn ads, and ...yes they're very unwanted and it's embarrassing and they never used to come for awhile. so i want to get rid of them and all my other problems. any help will be appreciated, thanx!!

i use firefox to test my html codes, but i prefer ie for surfing and i dont know why. i think both are basically the same, i'm just more accustomed to using ie i guess.

you said you have tons of programs to 'prevent' pop ups and spyware? what are they? ad-aware is great against browser hijackers which i think what causes your ie to load all that porn stuff.

just stop clicking those fake ads that you see, stuff like "you have xx number of spywares, download 'name of program' to get rid of all blah.." those stuff with the "yes" or "yes" popups... (even when you click no, it still downloads) i think even when you click the x button it still downloads lol.

stay away from those.
stay away from porn sites too, but if you must, at least set your "privacy setting" to high or block all.

last but not the least, read a little bit of infos about your pc and internet
a little knowledge of how those malicious programs work will come in handy.
see, even with a firewall, virus scanner, popup blocker, firefox etc,
you are still vulnerable. how much more if you dont know jack about pcs.
