A group I belong to is offering information, and in order to access
this information I need to install either iTtunes or Firefox.
I'm currently using Windows XP Home and Internet Explorer
6.0.2900.2180. I am trying to avoid adding new, unfamiliar programs
because of the risk they will interfere with my current system. My
computer was built in December, 2004 and right now all my programs
are about the same vintage and work well together.
The group's computer guy tells me:
"...i am sure that they [tech experts] will recommend that you start
using firefox instead of internet explorer. there are no risks
involved with firefox, and it will help you to avoid viruses and all
kind of bad things that internet explorer will not warn you about."
I already have an anti virus program and Zone Alarm... I just don't
know what unpredictable things Firefox may do to my mix of programs
mostly from 2003/2004. I hesitate to install a brand new program for
an essential function like Web browsing. This is something I use
every day for essential functions ... if I install Firefox, will
something suddenly stop working?
It sounds like I'm going to have to install either itunes or
Firefox. I'm afraid that either one of them may interfere with my
current functions; I'm afraid that either one of them may take a lot
of time that I don't have to install and learn.
Which one will cause me the least hassle? Which of the two is
easiest to install... interferes least with other programs?
Many thanks for your advice!!
