Even people I know that dont watch Big Brother have heard about "Cookie Love" and "Cookie Power". 
It relates to one of the current contestants in the BB house, who is always screaching cooookie luv. 
Theres even ringtones etc..  just say I hope it doesnt catch on and that she doesn't release something when she does get out, as its so damn annoying.

My question is this,is FireFox more secure than IE7?

The short answer is YES!

I noticed a big difference when i moved over to Firefox... most of the malware scanners find beggar all tracking cookies, or other carp for that matter.

Malware scanners have coined the term "tracking cookie" - to make you think they're something bad. They certainly aren't anything to do with what browser you are using. They're just regular cookies, which have been used to 'track' such information as adverts you've seen, to avoid repetition, etc.. or for very limited market research (repeat visits to a website etc).

As for FF being more secure than IE - yes it is, to a point, but it is possible to use IE as your main browser and still keep it clean (I do!)

Ah well, ignorance is bliss methinks.

I have just installed the monthly auto updates from MS.One is a security update for IE7.Does FireFox ever need these kind of security updates and if so where do you download them.

[Floydoid]

I don't think it matters too much about keeping IE up to date if Firefox is your default browser... but better safe than sorry eh?

[UncleUB]

@Floydy,don't you need security updates for FF then,or is security not an issue with FF

[kitz]

FF automatically checks + does updates when it needs them.

The update control is found under tools >
Options >
Advanced >
Update

Got it,Thanks.
