Camel made a VERY good point, about the possibillity of a reboot being the catalyst. I have seen that MANY times. People who leave their rig/laptop powered up for days/weeks, then finally reboot/restart/power cycle, only to have something lurking, NOW cause a problem.

There are false positive hits that occur, but it's much better to take every flag, as a threat. GJ.

Softpedia is virus infected, they dont scan their files, I have received a few viruses from them. I would be wary, and most of the time if you find software thats free, I dont downloaded them from a 3rd Party site, I figure out who made it then I go to the creators website to download, that way its trust worthy.

firefox is slow as death and has a huge file size. Chrome is small but also slower then death. IE 8 is medium but has crap secuirty but is the fastist on the web. Besides that anyone I know who had firefox on there computer had issues with it. especily the p4's

I must admit I am an IE only guy, I only use firefox when i need to use a special addin.

IE does have some holes in it. FF/Opera/Chrome are standardized in their rendering of a website, so if you coding a site (graphically speaking) and you are using FF to test the rendering, it is more than likely gonna look wrong in IE and vice versa. IE 9 will be coming out and it is more standardized than any other browser on the market.

Good chrome is a pretty good light weight browser, however, the application session is only per tab, meaning that if one tab fails the rest of google chrome does not crash, on the other hand, these tabs since they are application session specific then it means that it will run away with memory or have high memory hits for simple websites. May load the website fast but the one tab could be eating up 100mb of ram.
