    Interestingly enough, when I click your link Spybot S&D warns me about a TargetNet download.
    I will therefore disable your link.

    EDIT: I'm clean, so far as I know, so one of my many security programs must of blocked whatever it was, but I never received any kind of a warning.

    Mozilla browser verses IE

    When I click on the link above with mozilla. Mozilla would not load the page.
    When I loaded it with IE SpyBot block it.
    Could it be said that Mozilla is more secure in browsing the Internet. Is it true that malware comes in through IE?
    Below is the warnings I got.
    When I click on it with IE.

    According to PestPatrol, Targetnet is a tracker cookie which would explain why my Adaware and SD scans did not find it, I had blocked it: I normally block ALL cookies except for a very few good ones, including Wilders, of course.

    Mozilla security

    Could it be said because Mozilla wouldn't even open the site, that it would be saver surfing the Internet with Mozilla then IE?
    Also It was SpyBot that block it because I have immunize it with SpyBot.

    Re:Mozilla security

    IE has some bugs , and for me Mozilla, FireFox and Opera stands out. Opinions vary but IE still have security problems.

    surf with Mozilla/FireFox/Opera from me

    good day
