I downloaded Opera and I’m running it… What should I use to block things like nCase, Lycos Sidesearch, IstToolbar, et cetera… from installing themselves? ---

Actually no it won’t. Since the data comes across port 80, which you are allowing anyways through a firewall… It’s called shitty security zones that have more holes than swiss cheese… Mozilla fixes a lot of that. > [@91GSteggy](#): > > ya but a FIEWALL owns all :op: ---

Opera is fine because there isn’t a daemon or registry settings that are there. Cookies, wtf do cookies have to do with your dumbass clicking on the wrong thing and getting owned yet again? > [@ShalerPunk](#): > > i had my IE security settings on High.
