I switched from I.E. to Mozilla and have not had any virus issues, on the main comp and the laptop. It's faster and easier to use. And I love that I can customize the top part!

Click on tools, then click add on's, then click on the little tab that says themes... there should be a little blue link at the bottom of the window next to the FIND UPDATES button... it will say get themes. Click on that and it will take you to the page to choose themes...

Well, technically you don't NEED them (as in: they're not a requirement), but you can do a lot of customization with them. They make an already-great program even more flexible and efficient. :) It's kind of like buying a one-size-fits-all dress and then having it specially altered just for you. :mrgreen:

Here's a link to the add-ons page so you can read more:

And here's the link to the very popular Ad-Block Plus add-on, which I can't say enough good things about. :)
