Thanks Chris, I've been trying to find that this week!

I've only ever usee IE, should I swap to the evil side and install FF? I'd hate Bill to miss out on something because I betrayed him.
More seriously, how is it for security, particularly Internet banking, which I do heaps of.

I reckon the two major weaknesses are in your computer and the computer at the other end. Maybe, just maybe, if you have a dodgy ISP as well.

Google shows these hits on security and FF looks pretty much ok. IE is more at risk as generally the people who use it are more likely to be "green" PC users. As they build knowledge they may move elsewhere so the hacking types concentrate their efforts on the IE software. Same reason the MAC OS is fairly secure, hackers can't be bothered generally when the return ratio is much higher with a PC OS.

Personally I'd be more concerned with reducing possible access to the computer you bank with. Minimise other software on it, DON'T use it wirelessly, don't share it's HDD and regularly clear the cache and cookies (end of each session).

Finally, when you sell the PC - put an axe through the HDD.

Last thought, don't bank with the new software until you have checked all the settings and are familiar with what they provide, FF does have some different defaults to IE.

Well whilst I waited for an answer, I downloaded it, installed and am using it now. Totally agree with what you say Groggy, I'm pretty careful with my details and have things as secure as I can my end. I know IE is not the "be all", so I'm happy to give FF a run.

Good advice regarding getting used to it before banking too.
