You could try netscape, just download it using your firefox install it and then go to start-control pannel-add or remove programs-find firefox and click remove. you can pm me if that was a little vague.

Is the inside of your computer clean? If it is dirty and you aren't getting any airflow your pc will overheat and freeze up.

Disk cleanup and defragmenter (Click Start button, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools)

Go to your Control Panel, and click Add or Remove Programs. Get rid of all the programs you don't think you need...Just remember...If it looks or sounds important...It is important. Try and get rid of the programs with 10+ MBs.

While you're cleaning your memory, you should clean inside of the modem. Try and get some Dust Remover...The compressed gas duster kind. That seems to work awesome and it doesn't ruin anything because it's cold air basically.

The reason why you should that is because my internet explorer started crashing....and since I cleaned it out...Hasn't crashed since.

If I was ever to give out advice for looking up porn...

Use Limewire to look it up...All you have to do is clear your search history, and it's gone forever. :devil:

could be due to spyware/adware?

First get rid of some of your spyware, this is a free program that works pretty well. This is the newest version of adaware, download it then install it and let it run.. I dunno if you have cleaned your computer before but if not it may run for about thirty minutes or longer but this alone will help your computer out alot if there is alot of spyware. make sure to select remove when the scanning is over.

Uninstall firefox then reinstall the new version which is version 2.0.0.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
This is the newest version and IMO I think its the best browser out.

Stop going to all those XXX sites they are full of virus /spyware and adware :devil: All so check your temporary internet files . The biggest file I have seen was 9 GB and the user was amazed how much faster it work after I delete it
