Netscape and Internet Explorer battle for the title

By Rex Baldazo and Daniel Tynan

Once upon a time, Netscape's Navigator browsers ruled the Web unopposed. Then, in 1995, upstart Internet Explorer entered the fray. The browser wars had begun.

Netscape maintained its Internet dominance until 1997, when, with a wicked one-two punch, Internet Explorer's fourth version wrested both title and market share from Netscape. Netscape--outdated, slow, and unstable--went down for the count.

But after a two-year hiatus (and a disastrous 6.0 release), Netscape released a major 6.1 upgrade (and, more recently, a minor 6.2 update) that's meaner, leaner, and faster than ever. At last, buggy, slow Netscape is nearly as strong, stable, and speedy as IE. But IE 6 still controls more than 70 percent of the browser market. Does Netscape have what it takes to win the browser wars once and for all? We're determined to find out.

So we pitted browser against browser in a battle to the surfing finish. Dan "Tyson" Tynan, frequent CNET contributor and author of our biweekly "Inside @ccess" column, represented the challenger, Netscape. Rex "Holyfield" Baldazo, a CNET software engineer and longtime Web jockey, stood in for the champion, IE. Our combatants duked it out in five rounds of sparring over installation ease, interface quality, speed, security, and standards support.

Finally, CNET convened an impartial jury of seven editors (from our Software, Electronics, Hardware, and Enterprise departments) and one CNET content producer. The jury reviewed each set of arguments and voted on a winner for each round. Did Microsoft dominate the ring, or did Netscape deliver a TKO to IE? Read on.

Of course the internet is unsafe and full of virusses. Here is a free anti-virus program called AVG-anti virus. Its free so don't think its really good like Norton anti virus but I personally think AVG anti virus is good enough for most virusses. You can download AVG anti virus here.
