You are probably still using Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer is okay, but many other browsers out there can offer better speed and security.
What I recommend and use is Mozilla Firefox, a great web browser that is 127% faster. And with Firefox 3.0, you get better security. And when you switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox, Firefox will ask you if you want to transfer all your favorites, cookies, and saved passwords from IE to Firefox.
In the 1990s IE won, but now it's in the 21th century, and times are different for IE. Even with IE7 and IE8 RC1, every day 500,000 people switch from IE to Firefox. Plus, Firefox is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux, so you can use it on any platform. Even if you don't switch today, one day IE will become like Netscape, being left unsupported by Microsoft.
I recommend to switch to Firefox now. If you are using Internet Explorer 6.0, you get the extra goodies of tabs. Firefox 3 passes the Acid2 test, where IE 6 or 7 fails it. Also, Firefox was Cnet's Editor's Choice in June 2008. For more awards Firefox got, go here. Firefox 3 also gets 71/100 on the Acid3 Test, which IE8 gets 21/100.
Firefox also has thousands of themes and add-ons, all completely free. Firefox won't cost you a penny. Even Microsoft puts plugins for Firefox. Switching is easy. If you still need help to get used to Firefox, go to help and click "For Internet Explorer users". Cnet also has a prizefight between Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 7 here. Last month, IE had a major flaw (source). I'm not saying it won't happen to other browsers, it just happens to IE more often. Is this enough reasons to switch to Firefox? If it isn't, there are thousands of more reasons on the web here.
