i came across this page called “how to fix mom’s computer” and found it very helpful. the author explains how to maintain your computer and keep it safe from a virus, spyware, etc. it was written very well and is so easy to follow. the comments also proved helpful…and funny too. people were either bashing internet explorer or pc’s.

i did most of the things suggested in the article except that i still used internet explorer. apparently, internet explorer is one very insecure browser (poor IE). the only problem is that while mozilla and/or firefox may be more secure, they are also less supported at this time. my hope is that more people will make the switch forcing the industry to adjust its standards.
