Mozilla's Firefox browser is so much more secure that Microsoft's Internet Explorer one would be foolish to keep using IE if you want to keep your computers secure. I say this because so many infection attacks stem from security holes in IE which makes it the highest risk for infections in the first place. To keep my computer better secured I use a combination of add-ons within Firefox to basically lock it down from internet born infections. I use the following Firefox add-ons to help keep me protected:

1. Adblock Plus
2. NoScript

Adblock Plus will block all ads that are supposed to show on a web page. If you want to see them all you need to do is to click on play arrow in the ad holding area, otherwise that will be all that you will see.

NoScript will not allow scripts from websites to be run without my permission, so none of those websites that will automatically install or attempt to trick you into installing something will show properly. You would have to purposely tell NoScript that it is ok to run the scripts from the websites that the webpage is attempting to run. You can download these add-ons from within Firefox.

The only thing I use IE for is to run Windows Updates (because Microsoft will not allow other browsers to do this) and to lock IE down to the clients allowed websites or websites that will only work in IE. That way the employees cannot go to those places that will infiltrate IE and infect your computer. The employees have to use Firefox to use the internet and that limits the infections by about 99 percent.
