I hope you are all using Firefox, theres a virus going around on Internet explorer.

Oh..... Crap.

Am I the only one here using Firefox? I am the only one in my family that swears by it, after the family comp was hacked and nearly mangled by a virus.

Hey i use chrome to. For some reason my internet explorer and firefox are so slow and chrome isn't plus i like the spell check. Anyways when i got on GTM yesterday it gave me some alert message about the virus but nothing happened to my computer. I am going to assume that it has been fixed because i did not get the message today.

I'd use Chrome everywhere, but I'm waiting for it to be ported properly (and be stable) on Linux and OS X. Chromium on Windows is pretty awesome. Otherwise I use Firefox. 3.5 was kinda slowish on windows, but they fixed it in 3.5.1 (all fonts were cached at the start of the application).

All you people complaining about a virus being "on" GTM have probably just a really messed up Windows install with spyware, adware and worms all over the place.

(Also, FYI worm != virus. A virus infects files, adds it's header in binaries, and shiet. Much more advanced. A worm just keeps running on your PC, copies itself and maybe makes your PC join a botnet. It can be as simple as a dozen of VBScript lines created by a 10-year old on crack)

Chrome is actually *slightly* slower than Firefox on my machine, but is still a lot easier to use. Plus, it blocks all popups instead of just the first one like Firefox.
