Firefox is a browser which allows you to block images and pop-ups. Add-ins can block flash displays and more.
Thunderbird is a related email program with some nice features:
- pseudo-intelligent junk mail filters (automatic delete of spam)
- optional image blocking
- supports multiple mailboxes
- not affected by most Internet Explorer security issues.

Viruses can attack your computer when you read an email, click on an attachment, or simply browse a web site or connect to the internet. Even if you have all the current security fixes for Windows (Visit http://WindowsUpdate.Microsoft.com ), new viruses come out regularly exploiting newly discovered security holes.
