Internet
Explorer (Download)
The most popular browser around at the moment. This is mainly due to it
being integrated into every version of Windows since Windows 95 was released,
making it a universal web browser (any computer that runs Windows has
Internet Explorer). It has many features and is a very good all around
browser.
Netscape
Communicator (Download)
Netscape has lost a lot of ground in recent years to Microsoft Internet
Explorer, mainly due to the latest releases of Windows incorporating stable
and feature-rich versions of IE. Netscape provides a nice alternative
to IE yet doesn't really offer any advantages over its competitor besides
a slightly different interface.
Opera
(Download)
This web browser has been gaining in popularity in the last couple of
years as a viable alternative to the two "big" browsers listed
above. It offers some innovative features such as the ability to add skins
and display more than one web page in the same window. It is a relatively
small download.
Mozilla
(Download)
Mozilla is an alternative to Internet Explorer. The latest version is
called Firefox and offers such features as tabbed browsing, the ability
to add extensions and plug-ins to the browser and many other unique features
that compliment this stable browser.

Why does my web browser keep trying to connect to a proxy

Why
does my web browser keep trying to connect to a proxy server?
Click on Tools and then Internet Options. From there select the
Connections tab and click the LAN Settings button. Make sure that all
the check boxes in this window are not checked.
Why
does my web browser always prompt me to dial-up when I first start it?
I am a high-speed customer!
Internet Explorer is still set to dial in to the Internet from a previous
account you had set-up. Click on Tools and then click Internet Options.
From there select the Connections tab and below the white area you will
have the option to select "Never dial a connection". Select
this by clicking on the circle to the left of it and then click Ok at
the bottom of the screen and try refreshing your page.
Why
does my home page change without my consent?
The most likely cause of this is Spyware. Please see the corresponding
web page on the main technical support page of this web site.
