IE 7 VS Firefox 2?

I just want to compare these in term of Security ONLY. just tell me as the current time, which is more secure? By the way, is Opera 9 by now on top of these 2, again, for security, ONLY

IE 7 VS Firefox 2?safari browser

Firefox is preferable from the security point of view. Contrary to what most thing, not because it is more secure than IE - it is not. Security flaws are discovered in it just as often (if not even more often) than in IE.

However, Firefox is used by fewer people - 9 of every 10 people use IE. This means that an attacker is likely to concentrate his efforts against IE - because it will give him a larger vulnerable population and a better payoff for his efforts. In that aspect, Opera is even better, because it is used by even fewer people.

In addition, both Firefox and Opera do not support ActiveX - and malicious ActiveX objects (or insecure ActiveX objects) are a major source of trouble in IE. (Admittedly, you can turn ActiveX off - but few people do that.)

Regarding your additional question - yes, browsers that use the IE rendering engine are plagued by the same security problems as the original IE.

IE 7 VS Firefox 2?ds browser internet explorer

FF
Firefox
Since FireFox 2 is an open source app, it's more secure---more people will work on it to fix bugs quickly.
Opera is probably the most secure, simply because it is such a small target in user numbers, that most cyber-criminals can't be bothered to exploit it.
opera
Firefox 2, duh.
Opera is the best.
Windows Internet Explorer 7 is best on security baisis.

If you are a SpyBotS%26amp;D user = In S%26amp;D check to make sure under tool/ie tweaks "Lock IE start page setting against user changes (current user)" is NOT checked.

You might also empty your temp internet files folder, and then go to: tools/ internet options/ general/ temp internet files/ settings/check for newest version of pages(either automatic or every time)/ok/ok.

.... And then tools/ io/ security/trusted sites/sites/add that url/ok/apply/ok, and then tools/ io/ security/trusted sites/custom level/low/ok/apply/ok , and then tools/ io/privacy/add that url/allow/ok/apply/ok

Also try tools/internet options/ clear files and cookies/ok/ok. If that doesn't fix it, try tools/internet options/advanced/scroll down to "security" and uncheck the first 3 boxes/apply/ok/ok , then

Click Start, click Run, type cmd and click OK, at the command prompt type the following commmand = ipconfig /flushdns and then hit the Enter key. Now restart the computer and see if the problem is resolved.

and then reboot your pc, then scan for spyware and/or trojan infestation.

Check PC date and time. Double click to open and make sure the time zone and daylight savings settings are also correct . Some sites block access when you have incorrect time settings.

Also, you might want to go to tools/internet options/settings - and move the slider for the amount of disk space to use for the temp internet files folder to the right some, then hit OK/OK. This might reqire a restart for the new setting to take effect, but at least it may be worth a try.

Frequently Asked Questions About Page Cannot Be Displayed Errors in Internet Explorer = http://support.microsoft.com/default.asp...

"The Page Cannot Be Displayed" = http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=32615... %26gt; "Error message when you try to access a Web site in Internet Explorer: "Page Cannot Be Displayed"

Check to see if you accidentally added it to the adblock list or blocked it in your tools/internet options settings, and be sure your firewall is allowing IE outbound access to the Internet.

Most of the time , this problem is not at your end.It means the site you are trying to access is either experiencing heavier traffic than it can handle, has exceeded its bandwidth allocation , is temporarily down or for some other reason is not accessible. The most common reason for it not to be accessible is a problem where two or more of the backbones of the internet meet and swap data. For some reason requests from people on your backbone are not being routed to the backbone the site is on or vice versa. Again it is not your fault and there is nothing you can do. If it is all sites, it generally means your internet connection is malfunctioning and you need to contact your ISP.

Try clearing your Rcache.

WOW! Someone is having that problem besides ME! And I DO keep my cache spotlessly clean by emptying it several times a day!

That tells me that there could be something going on with the Internet in general. I don't know how. Maybe something having to do with what the government is doing by eavesdropping on everyone or something.

How do i get ie to work on my computer i have dial-up i want to get rid of aol and just use ie?

You have to have some method of connecting to the internet. If AOL is it, and you get rid of it, then nothing will work. Once you've logged on to AOL your IE should work. IE is just a browser.

IE Security Settings question....?

Just yesterday this gray Microsoft Internet Explorer box started popping up every time I went to a different web page. The box stated this : Your current security settings prohibits running Active X controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly. I'm almost certain something has changed my security settings, but what should my settings be as far as all the Active X options are?

Download signed Active X controls...

Download unsigned Active X controls...

Initialize and script Active X controls not marked as safe...

Run Active X controls and plugins...

Script Active X controls marked safe for scripting...

Disable, Enable or Prompt for each?

Thanks in advance.

Use a better browser than Internet Explorer, such as Firefox or Opera and you wont have to worry about the exploits that come with using Internet Explorer and it's Active X controls.

IE Security Settings question....?microsoft powerpoint internet explorerhow come people keep choosing answer that is not directly related to the answer *sighs* Report It


Because security is utmost at my job, here are the settings on my office computer:

My setting for the Internet is at Medium-High and I have the following:

Download signed Active X controls...prompt

Download unsigned Active X controls...disable

Initialize and script Active X controls not marked as safe...disable

Run Active X controls and plugins...Enable

Script Active X controls marked safe for scripting鈥nable

Hope this helps your problem.
If you did not set the site to trusted or restricted list, follow this:

Internet option -%26gt;security-%26gt;Internet-%26gt;custom level-%26gt;

Download signed Active X controls - allow

(flash player and some other plugin need this to run)

Download unsigned Active X controls - disable

(never download unknown activeX)

Initialize and script Active X controls not marked as safe - disable (to be safe)

Run Active X controls and plugins - allow

(your previous setting only download "signed active X" so maybe it's safe to run any downloaded active x here. (you need this to run flash player and other plugin anyway)

Script Active X controls marked safe for scripting - enable

To be safe, you should run antivirus active scanner and firewall to defend yourselve. Run ccleaner free to wipe all temp internet files once in a while to rid of cookies/spyware on the temp folder. Hope it helps.
Make sure that the site in question has not been placed in the Restricted Zone by some security software. Off-hand SpywareBlaster, IE-SPYAD, Spybot S%26amp;D (inmunise) and I believe Webroot Spy Sweeper place known malicous sites into IEs Restricted Zone which will prevent the use of ANY active-X. Look for the red icon at the lower right of IE.

There is a problem with some of the older Yahoo Toolbars - sounds like this problem may be a symptom. Uninstall your Yahoo Toolbar from Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel and the problem will most likely go away.

If you like the toolbar and want to keep it around, upgrade to the latest version (click the yellow download button on http://toolbar.yahoo.com) and it should work fine.

IE keeps hanging up on My Yahoo. Why?

When I try to sign in to My Yahoo, IE7 hangs up. It keeps trying to open the page, but never does. (The status bar indicates this is the page is trying to load.) This has just started happening. I know it is not an Internet problem because I can sign in using Firefox. Any ideas?

IE keeps hanging up on My Yahoo. Why?windows media

If you can use firefox, then its something to do with a .dll, browser extension or some setting in IE. Optimize IE by going to start, run - inetcpl.cpl.

Under browsing history, click delete, delete all,

Security tab, reset all zones to default,

Privacy tab, set to default

Programs tab - check "Make sure IE is default browser" and click make default.

Advanced, scroll down a little bit, see "Enable third party browser extensions". Uncheck it, click apply, ok and try IE.

If that doesn't work, try start, run - inetcpl.cpl, click advanced tab and click on reset under reset internet explorer settings.

Hope this works.

Get rid of IE 7. Uninstall it (then IE 6 will appear) or download Mozilla Firefox. www.mozilla.com. You uninstall IE 7 under Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs.
Hi trailerqueen75,

You migh try this.

Goto My Yahoo and sign in, then refresh the page and then see if that works. If not, then I would think that you have messed with settings somewhere. If so, go back and re-check those settings.

I have and have used IE7 BEFORE anyone else could even come close to getting it. (If that tells you anything) and it has been working flawlessly since.

I will NEVER ( %26lt;--- see that "NEVER") go back to IE6 and I will NEVER use a browser (no names firefox mentioned) that has MORE problems then IE. It is the user that HAS to set things up JUST like the OS itself.

Hope this helps.

Yes you are overweight, I am 5'10 and 180 pounds and 23 years old and my doctor told me I need to loose like 10-15 pounds.
You could lose some pounds.
Yes. Google BMI calculator and you will see. I am 5'7 and only 135
Yes, you are, sweetie!!!

Start eating better and exercising more!! DO NOT DIET OR TAKE DIET PILLS!!! You are still growing, you need all the vitamins, calcium and etc. to keep growing.

Just start exercising more, lifting some weights (even for girls) and eating better. It'll take months and months but you'll start getting stronger and stronger and the pounds will come off.
make fruit and ice smoothies with a bit of milk and juice and when you eat eggs or mashed potatoes be sure and add veggies also eat salads.
Maybe by about 15 lbs.

A girl is supposed to weigh 100 lbs. for the first 5 feet and then 5 lbs. for every inch, but I know many people who weigh over what they are "supposed" to weigh and they are stick thin, so I don't think it's too accurate.
Yes, and I'm sure you know it. But, you're not sloppy fat or anything. Add more exercise and eat a bit less and you'll get to a healthier weight.
You can check this on a BMI Calculator.

yea sweety..u r a bit overweight
Well you shed some pounds

:/
it depends on your bone structure

you are probably overweight, but it may not be by very much

if you have heavy bones, that adds a ton to your weight that you can't take off

talk to your doctor

that's the only way to get an accurate answer
well when you are 5 ft you should be 100 lbs and add on 6 for every inch after. so you shoud be somewhere around 154
ya
Yes. the bmi scale indicates that u r over weight. fitday.com says u r overweight...and um..u pretty much are over weight. and i am POSITIVE THAT IT IS NOT MUSCLE BCUZ MY BRO IS 17 AND HE HAS A NOTICABLE AMOUNT OF MUSCLE AND HES ONLY 165.
you are not overweight and people saying this dont know what they are talking about ! u may have some fat but u are only 13 and im sure its puppy fat and as u get older u will grow and it will grow away so dont worry about it to much or ul make yourself sick x

hope this helps
At your height you should be between 145-155. I am the same height and when I weighed 145 I looked to skinny. Go a bit between the two and you should be on average.
I think that's considered overweight, but I'm not sure. You can check on a BMI calculator to see if you're overweight or not.

IE is causing many problems to Internet users ,it stops responding all at a sudden and you lose whatever you are doing .

i got enough from IE so I downloaded the Free open source browser " Firefox " from : http://downint.googlepages.com/Firefox.h...

it is much more stable and even if it closes suddenly " which is rare" it has an option to get you back exactly at the same place where it stopped. best part it is Free , doesn't need to verify your windows and you can run it along with IE as well , I do have them both on my computer.
