Security
|
------------------
|
 
 
|
Firefox,
Iron, Opera, and Seamonkey
Alternative
browsers avoid virus, malware,
and privacy problems. |
|
|
Microsoft Security Essentials
offers virus and malware protection. It's
lightweight and integrates nicely into
Windows, making a multitude of security
software obsolete.

Alternative
Operating System
|
|
|
Linux Mint
will never get a virus or malware, is hard
to hack, and extremely stable. Unlike
Windows, which only updates system files,
Mint updates everything
(programs, drivers, system files, etc). I
couldn't suggest a better alternative OS.
