    It's free, it's AOL.

    Enjoy the slowness and trojans/rootkits/embedded spyware that firefox always defends...

    dude your making aol sound much worse then it acually is. Just by trying it out, you are not going to get a virus suddenly. Chill out and stop being biased.

    Lots of sites, even sites that you'd imagine wouldn't, have imbedded spyware.

    Some have worse imbedded things, like trojans and rootkits (but those are usually pirating sites).

    You usually saw that in IE, using IE gave you viruses. Not anymore, most of the time.

    But firefox was made for security.

    This is free software, made by aoHELL of all people. It's not gonna have any security I'm afraid.

    You better stick to microsoft.com, and other trusted locations, like aol.com, apple.com, or here, unless you want viruses up the ying yang.

    yeah i am personally a firefox user, i love firefox...

    i agree that aol sucks, but before you judge their software, you should at least give them a chance... just try it out, then you can tell me how much it sucks :D

    No thank you.

    You are certainly welcome to damage your pc though. If you really want to.

    dude how can you say that if you've never even tried it!!!??? You are judging all of aol's software as threatening and full of spyware crap. Try it out before you say that, you cant know for sure unless you give it a try. Dont judge. :D
