You can use Pointcast with any browser. I have been reading a lot about computer viruses in the paper lately. Though not as deeply concerned as the newspapers and television report lead you to. They are a threat to anyone who does anything online, including navigating the Web. But don't let the threat of viruses keep you from enjoying your time online.
Attacks are rare with only a very small portion of Internet users being affected at any time.
To protect your computer from viruses, use virus scanning software on your computer on a regular basis and keep it updated.
