re: "or malware their advertisers provided." advertisers provided?

I thought that maleware, was a purposely intrusive program whose function is to screw up or slow down your PC, either just to be schmucky, like a virus, or it infects / slows down your PCr in order to istall intrusive, hacking programs of its own that your PC will infect other PC's with.

Also how versatile are some of the new browsers you mentioned, in their ability to access any kind of attachments or links that may use different formats or apps (don't know more precise words for these) to make the attachment or link accessible.

I ask, because I was at the library's PC doing an on-line application. One of the tests I just couldn't access. It gave a help number. I called it, we tried a bunch of things that didn't work to access it. I told him the library's browser was Firefox, he said it may be accessible only by Internet Explorer.

That's exactly what the problem was. I went home, brought up the on-line test site, on my notebook, with IE, and was able to access the attachment.

Also, as a user, I don't see what the difference is between IE and Firefox, to me they both pretty much are doing the same thing. I asked the computer tech. at the library about the difference. All he told me was that Firefox was more powerful and faster.
