Just stay away from Aol or other combo packages with their own browsers as these are just different masks with IE actually running behind the scene.

There are no Mozilla/Netscape hijackers. There is one unethical company triggering the installer prompt with a javascript. A prompt is not a hijack. That problem will be dealt with in the next release of Mozilla/FireFox.I would Probably Recommend FireFox at the moment, but if the new breed of Mozilla/Netscape Hijackers continue to multiply, then I will be moving elsewhere. Of course, there are a lot of other great browsers desgined on the Gecko Core

That is one part of an infection of the whole computer, done after lop has been downloaded and installed by other means and it is cleared by simply resetting the home page. Netscape plays no other part in a lop hijacking and will not allow lop or anything else to do a drive by hijacking.There IS a netscape hijacker. LOP does it.

IE is too much trouble and fills your computer with too many large patches that actually do not fix the problem.

However if Windows is your operating system you must still make sure you download all critical updates. Sad but true.

IE - Windows Update _ONLY_.
Firefox - literally _everything_.
K-Meleon - HTML testing browser.
Netscape Navigator 4.8 - for reading .gz files on a certain fanfiction archive.
Firebird - as a Firefox backup.
Lynx - for running through Gopher archives.
