I advice you FireFox 1.0 which you can find here: http://mozilla.mirrors.tds.net/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%201.0.exe It's the most secure browser in my eyes because its open source and many bugs are already fixed or get fixed daily. The more handy browser is Opera which is might be a bit more unsecure but it has many more features and is the fastest browser available. You can get Opera 7.54 here: ftp://ftp.download.com/pub/win95/internet/o754_3869.exe Best Regards, 3m1n3m |

For the truly paranoid, there's always the good old "telnet to port
80" method. I can't recall any exploits affecting telnet clients in
recent memory, and as there's no browser infrastructure with all its
associated risks to drag around, the odds of being infected by
something are next to nil.
On the other hand, you have to be good at human-based HTML parsing,
and if the content you want to retrieve is displayed using ActiveX,
Flash, or Java, then you'll have to learn how to
decode/decrypt/disassemble the applets.
For the curious (I entered the "telnet" line, as well as the two
starting with "GET" and "HOST"):
prompt> telnet www.google.com 80
Trying 64.233.167.104...
