Browser Tips

Dear Readers,

In regards to browsing the internet there are a handful of different browsers available.

• Internet Explorer (IE)
• Mozilla Firefox
• Opera
• Safari
• Google Chrome

In this list Internet Explorer will certainly be recognised as it comes with Windows Operating Systems, plus they have now released Internet Explorer 9 to the public, to find out more on this check out the Microsoft website.

Anti Virus Scanners to date are able to integrate easily with IE and Firefox, you will have to research your anti virus software to see whether or not it also supports Opera and Safari but generally they don't. The biggest concern for me is Google Chrome, it is very very quick at loading websites, loading up the program in general and much more. However, none of the anti virus programs seem to be able to integrate with it, on more than one occasion I have had a computer come to me who have had some sort of protection on there computer while using nothing but Google Chrome as there browser....and a virus has got into the system. In this regards although it is a good browser use it carefully. For the teenagers out there if you don't want your parents coming to me saying there's a virus on the computer then use IE or Firefox which will be much safer for your overall system. (Note: Firefox is said to be more secure and faster than IE)

I hope you enjoyed this little installment,
Until next time, be safe, be happy, be good.
