NewsForge | Experts predict Firefox spyware will show up this year

Firefox has proved relatively unaffected by spyware both due to its inherent pop-up blocking ability as well due to the fact that much fewer people use it when compared to Internet Explorer. However, everal spyware experts are predicting that as it grows in popularity, Firefox will be targeted more by spyware writers. So, while it is still a good idea to move away from IE to another browser, remember that no browser is perfect and that you always need to be security conscious by having spyware protection and detection programs like Spybot, Ad-aware, and Microsoft's anti-spyware program.
