Be CAREFUL with Firefox!!!! when you install it you will get an "I agree" text box ... CAREFUL ... a LOT of those "I agree" text boxes are NOT for the Firefox program itself but for other "free" software like "clean PC" and the such.

READ the "I agree" banner to see what program it is wanting you to agree to. There is an opt-out button at the bottom.

I don't trust or use Firefox anymore.

I have PC with Windows but rarely use it. I have to have it for my embroidery programs. I print things with it and rarely go on the web with it. Have had tons of trouble with "viruses, crashes, blue screens, etc.," over the years with PCs. I am tech savvy and have fixed computers and run IT things, so I understand them and how they work. Hackers are getting smarter all the time. I heard that all the virus programs are written by programmers overseas. The only one written in the US, supposedly, is PC Matic...

I have a MacBook that I have had for almost 8 years and use it to surf the web and have never had a problem with it. I generally use it daily.

Would your SIL like to work on mine too? I've been having the same problem and can't seem to get the IT guys at the office to fix it for me.
