Should I install it before the Firefox or after in your opinion? I will make a restore point be for both installs.

I'm using it right now. Love the spell checker as it finds my typo's.

But gotta put all the other sites into it and learn a lot.
I guess the most important is there any updates after install and security measures I need to know right away?

I didn't do SP-3 nothing I needed but maybe the Media Player and some IE security. But I'm sure M$ will provide.

Be sure to scope out the fantastic Firefox Add-ons! You can customize Tabs,Weather and so much more. One of my favorite ad ons is PicLens but there are hundreds to chose from below.

Whenever adding add-ons, do so 1 at a time...

It you add 10 things at once and your PC goes on the fritz, you won't realize which add-on was the culprit, whereas 1 at a time will show which one caused the problems...

My free utility this is just two of the many things it does. I don't care for ACCUR Weather products. And for 3 days or more this one is better than my local city.
In the drop down box "Topeka" you can put in as many locations as you have friends/family and just look at their weather.
