one thing to remember, when upgrading things like java,flash, etc... is to carefully read what they check or uncheck as far as additional software they install, most people just click next next next to complete the install, not noticing that the developer has slipped a couple of things in there that you need to "uncheck".
my mom and pops do it all the time, and end up getting the "ask toolbar" and other stuff installed repeatedly.. , last week my mom had speedupmypc, ask tool bar and another toolbar i'd never seen before, it was screwing up everything ! easy fix for me just uninstall. and they were related to her java updates... little bastages always hiding stuff. with my parents computers i've actually given up on fighting the Bing war to switch them back to google, bing seems to invade their puters about every other week and after reverting them back to google search like 5 times I just said "fk it" and quit switching it back... but its another reason I refuse to ever use bing, since I hate developers that invade computers like that to push their product.
oh and ps... chrome and sdf work just fine.. and I have spellchecker in chrome... I hate IE... but I have to use it for some sites at work because thats all they accept, although now i'm having compability issues with the IE 10 upgrade,, annoying... so I have to go into compability mode sometimes...
chrome is my first choice and will be until they piss me off...
used firefox for a couple of years and still have it installed but I haven't used FF in probably 24 months.
