Steve77, if you don’t use IE because of its security flaws, then Mozilla and Mozilla firebird are probably the best alternatives. (They are better browsers in terms of features anyway, IMO). Some of the other alternatives are not reallay alternatives to IE at all because they sit on top of IE, use its underlying engine and are as vulnerable as is IE. What I am doing is using Firebird / Mozilla mail, with the avast resident protection for files set to high so that files modified or created are also scanned. Even if avast is not script blocking Firebird, I still am more confident in Firebird & Mozilla than in using IE with the avast script blocking. The best would be if avast programmers extend the script blocking to Mozilla and Mozilla Firebird. Afterall, Netscape is now defunct. The code from netscape long ago branched into Mozilla, and Firebird is built on top of Mozilla. Firebird and Mozilla put a premium on W3C and Html4 compliance. Mozilla/Firebird at the very least should be considered the “other standard browser” on which anti virus programs should work smoothly, if Netscape was once considered the “other browser”.
