So yeah, it looks like some of the offsite-hosted banner ads have been found to have some malware; the one I got notified of was the one from fwt.tnl.com.

I knows your a Mac user... is it faster than Safari, being built on the same engine and all? Might get it for PC. Been looking for an IE replacement but don't like Firefox.
Google Chrome has this incognito window thing... You go anywhere in the window and it never writes any of it down. No one will ever know what you did! It's pretty cool in other ways too.

...I certainly am not? XP is my main system; I have a few macs lying around but have two desktops I built with XP and two laptops with XP.

I didn't. I'm not stupid. This came up when I clicked "boards". Chrome just checked the image's URL against it's blacklist of sites and found a match.

I don't think anyone cares. IE exists only to let you download firefox, safari, or chrome. After you do that, its useless and you should look into getting tools to remove it.
I shall reviveth this dead topic to extol the virtues of the wonderous chrome. I finally got fed up with IE and downloaded it. It's uber quick, doesn't lock up, and hasn't given me that darn "Cannot load page, aborting" error thing.
HUZZAH! For all two of you who like me did not download google chrome, get it nauoghw. >_O It's better than Firefox. >_O
I take it back. >_> Chrome has crashed about nine times, more than IE, these past couple of days. And a third of them on youtube. Which is owned by google. >_>
I'll use it anyway, though, because freezing and crashing occasionally is better than that one error I get on TDC and the slow startup time.
