Nope, not me not using IE or FF, so nothing to boast about there. Both have never ever failed me because i dont put my info on the net :rolleyes:

As for the encryption in Avant being the same as IE? No big deal to be honest. I might not be a computer wizard but i know this just sounds like a tweak IE with a few more options and changes here and there. ^_^

quite right!, but they are much need options, Autorefresh, tabs, and a whole list of things you can disable, sounds, flash, active x, scripts, java. Better toolbars and it will take anything that IE will. Its a handy program to have around. I use it almost exclusively. Firefox locks up on me. IE has no tabs, and Opera I've never used to tell you the truth (wasnt it pay).
