I’ve found a new Online Antivirus Scanner on a new Website where you can find a lot of interesting infos about the latest threats on the internet, how you can get rid of viruses and malware, a dictionary with a lot of terms that helps understanding these threats and more. But the most important thing is that you can embeed on your site a free online antivirus scanner so your visitors can scan their PC’s for free. I’ve embeeded already this new scanner in my sidebar and it is very simple to embeed it, You have just to copy a HTML code and paste it into your blogs or websites code.
The Malwarecity online scanner button looks like this Malware City , it works only on Internet Explorer like all of the online scanners that i know.

Which internet browser is the best? Firefox, IE, Opera, Safari or Netscape?

Browser, Download March 25th, 2008

So which browser is the best one? Is it a taste matter? Maybe.

The best browser for me is Firefox, because of all the plugins you can install on it, it is fast and secure.

Internet explorer has changed in the past, it was a very unsecure browser but techies say that the new IE 7 is better than it’s predecessors, could be, i only use IE for some secure transactions because it doesn’t work with any other browser.

Opera is a good browser, it is fast, has all that you need and you can install plugins too, you also have a “Speed Dial” where you can add 9 of your favorite websites after that you can open them very fast an easy in a new window.

Safari isn’t so good because it’s still in beta and it won’t work with all the websites, sometimes it gives me some errors, i don’t know why, the good thing in Safari is that the websites look very smooth.

Hmm, about Netscape, i haven’t used it a long while now and i don’t know much about it, maybe one of the readers will say something about it.

Let’s start with the download links for the browsers :

1. Firefox 2.0.0.12 for Windows, English (US) (5.7MB)

2. Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP SP2, English (14.7 MB)

3. Opera 9.26 for Windows (6.4 MB)

4. Safari 3.1 for Windows XP or Vista (18.6MB)

5. Netscape Navigator 9 for Windows XP (5.9MB) 

Enjoy Browsing the internet!
