browser help

since visiting that virus topic, my internet explorer has
stopped working. luckily i downloaded mozilla before that
happened.

mozilla is slow as hell and messes up pages. i was able to
live with it until now; recently, i can't seem to access a
lot of sites that i frequent.

this same problem happens with firefox. i tried to download
opera but it won't let me access the site.

my biggest priority is to get internet explorer working
again, since it's the best of them. second would be to
access sites with the moz.

if no one has any idea how to help with those, then i'll
need someone to send me opera.

please help.

*sad face

If the sites aren't viewable in firefox/mozilla then it's
the site's fault, not the browser. Saying that, I use
firefox and I haven't noticed any sites that are rendered
incorrectly. Anyway... if IE is the best browser, how come
it "stops working" for seemingly no reason? It's hard to
suggest anything when that's all you've said.

it's not slow as fuck like moz, and the only time i've ever
had a problem with it was when some mozilla loving guy
fucked it up.

my problem is that i can't ACCESS SITES. i get 'rejected' by
them.

you're right, it is their fault but there is plenty of sites
that don't like mozilla. also, on extreme cases you will
still need to use IE to view any content they contain. for
example, you can't use mozilla to do a windows update.

Firefox is much faster than IE on my machine, and uses less
resources. If you think it's slow it's probably your
computer. I'm not really sure about what's causing that
problem, but you should check IE's connection settings and
obviously scan for spyware and shit.

not invincible.

like a wave function.

I'm not gonna do that. Try this, You shoud also
try pinging www.opera.com in a command prompt, if that
doesn't work then the problem isn't at your end.

I have seen sites that render incorrectly in Moz/Firefox,
but again this is the fault of the site coders, not the
browser.

i restarted my computer and moz is letting me get to
websites again, but internet explorer is still dead.
