All the people that ask for spyware, adware and virus remover programs are all the EI users. Mozilla pwnz all to be honest.

Hm..mine seems to use what your MSN does lol.
Also, i use WIndows XP Sevice pack 2. Has a very good build in windows firewall. Before i installed it i had upto 181 peices of spyware in a week or so. But since i have had it installed i havnt had any. The only things tht show up now on my spyware remover are cookies.

No, Yoyoyo, you've done it before you don't get to do it again.
Isn't that what you said? So, no, it's not even close to true.
WOW this is something I havent seen in along time!
Glowing names on LOMCN. ive jsut installed Maxthon its been pretty good! Only few problems though.
-There is no button to press to close a single tab you have to right click the tab or press the shortcut ctrl + w which i dont like as i have to maove my hands from their position on the keyboard to get to.
-It has let through more pop-ups than FF though considerably better than IE
-Where the back button should be there is the create new tab button leading to me creating tabs instead of going back.
Pros
- The glowing names
- The form filler-in thingy
- Having favourites down the side of the browser (something I couldn't get FF to do
- Tab groups handy
Overall its a good browser but the only addition that is worth having over Firefox is the glowing names on LOMCN. The speed doesnt bother me too much with FF so ill going back to FF. Oh and the look and feel of Maxthon isnt very nice lol theres something about FF.
Internet Explorer is a definate no go. The people who use it should try another browser and feel the benefit until IE7 comes out, If they need the speedy page loadup times go for Maxthon if not go for FireFox.
Just my 2 cents..

If Firefox gave me loads more than IE did, then yes I could have lived with pressing a few icons on the program, I dont get troubled by POP-Ups, Pop unders and god knows what else, i generally dont use Tabbed browsers. To me its Highly over rated and have tried it 7 times, so not a quick 5 min test. Each to there own and if FF floats your boat then fine...

1. Double-click a tab to close it (you can configure this in maxthon options if it isnt set for you already).
2. Reconfigure the popup blocked and you will be fine.
3. The back buttons only one more space to the right (it got me at first too).
The thing I really hate about FF is when you come out from using the intelli-scroll feature over a link... it clicks it.

I use FF, mainly because of Tabbed Browsing, and Accurate HTML/CSS parsing.
anything else is a bonus. It also looks nice (if using Qute rather than the default theme)
Also demonic, the Back/Forward buttons on my MX700/MX1000 work perfeclty in FF.
Also, I have never experienced the favourites being wiped thing.
