This post is posted to share with you on how to avoid bad web browsers. I'm sure everyone loves free stuffs, don't say NO because you are telling a lie right now at this moment! It goes the same to us when we are acknowledged that a software is FREE. Free software is great. Whether it will be a useful application or an exciting game, downloading something you want without paying a single cent is normally a welcome experience. Sadly, freedom always comes with a incalculable price tag.
The increasing number of free downloads that can be harmful to your computer and personal information seems to be growing at quite an alarming rate. Most web surfers are quick at downloading free software without studying exactly what they are getting into and where is it coming from. Even web browsers are not an exception to the rule and you should be very careful when it comes to where are you obtaining them from.
Do you know exactly what is a bad browser? A bad browser can be a lot of things. It is a web browser that contains harmful and unwanted components or add-ons. Many vendors offer their own browser downloads and packaged with their own toolbars or other pieces of software. This is especially with open sources browser like the Mozilla Firefox. Amateur and professional developers are encouraged to create their own add-ons to improve the browser's capability. This can be a great benefit to the industry as third-party who wants to take the power of the browser to a level can never be possible.
Packages such as Mozilla Firefox's Campus Edition is perfectly save and provide a level of convenience by including a useful set of add-ons as part of the download. With this, you can quite sure that you are getting a good product. However, there are many third-party sites offering Firefox downloads. These downloads may contain malware, viruses and other items we would like to avoid. The scariest part is that some of these bad browsers have the ability to slip right through the cracks and could not be detected by your spyware and anti-virus software. Rather than installing something harmful to your computer, why not take some time to do some research before downloading it. The extra time you take may save you from the giant headache you may encounter in the future. Another safe example is Google's Internet Explorer 7 which comes packaged with the company's toolbar as well as other features that fit to its popular search engine.
Most of the time, the add-ons that are offered as part of a package are also available separately. If you feel that the add-ons is really offered by a trusted source than what I had mentioned which is Firefox and IE 7, play it safe. Download browsers from its official site and then, install the add-ons that you wanted separately. With this way, it is a prevention from downloading bad browsers and always be cautious when it comes to free downloading.
Some free browser downloads may turn out to be something else together. Links and file names can be easily masked to look like a browser download when they are actually a form of malware. There is a simple way to avoid from becoming a victim of this type of trickery. Only DOWNLOAD browsers from their official site! Moreover, there is no reason for you to obtain a browser from an unauthorized site.
That's all for now.
