01 * Mozilla Firefox -- stand-alone browser
More secure & flexible than Internet Explorer (check out the extensions!). Part of a suite of unbundled programs including the Thunderbird mail reader (available separately). Linux & Mac versions, too. Current: v4.0.1

01a * NoScript -- IMPORTANT script-blocker add-on
"The NoScript Firefox extension provides extra protection for Firefox, Seamonkey and other Mozilla-based browsers: this free, open source add-on allows JavaScript, Java and Flash and other plugins to be executed only by trusted web sites of your choice (e.g. your online bank), and provides the most powerful anti-cross-site-scripting protection available in a browser."

02a * Google Chrome Internet Browser
Another useful browser, based on the Chromium open source Internet browser project--some like it even better than Firefox.

02b * Comodo Dragon Internet Browser
Like the Google Chrome Internet browser, it's based on the Chromium open source Internet browser project--but it's tweaked for improved privacy. I use both. Current: v8.0.0.4

03 * SeaMonkey -- integrated Internet browser suite
SeaMonkey is the current incarnation of the free and open-source successor to Netscape (it replaces the Mozilla Suite). Features include built-in pop-up stopper and tabbed browsing. It's a safer, more-secure integrated replacement for Microsoft Internet Explorer, Outlook, and Outlook Express. Current: v2.1

05 * Internet Explorer 8 Internet Browser
The latest version of Microsoft's Internet Browser. Not recommended for general use, but it MUST be updated for maximum Windows security and correct functionality. This is due to its tight integration with Windows.

05a * Maxthon (formerly MyIE2) browser front-end
If you MUST use Internet Explorer, this IE front end/add-on adds such features as mouse gestures, improved security, and much more. Current: 3.0.20.1000

06 * Opera Internet Browser
The fastest browser on Earth? Maybe--but it IS fast, and another good alternative to Internet Explorer. Current: v11.11

08 * Adobe Flash Player
Required to view Flash content, including YouTube, some site content & video, and some games. Two versions are listed at the top of the search results--you need both the ActiveX (Internet Explorer) version and the version for everything else (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc.). Current: v10.1.102.64

09 * Comodo Firewall Pro -- software firewall
Free and fully-functional. Required for a broadband connection (DSL/Cable) -- even if you have a router -- because it has EXCELLENT outbound filtering. Avoid using the default WinXP firewall -- it's not secure enough due to NOT having outbound filtering. Replaces the "Zone Alarm" firewall in this list.
