That's like comparing rubbish to dog poop. AVG or Avira are a lot more preferable, whilst ThreatFire and Spybot are absolute musts regardless of the antivirus you use.
Use Chrome thenFirefox does take a looong time to boot up, but once it's warmed up, it doesn't run any slower than IE. Thing is, IE runs like garbage without you knowing it.
IIRC globally it's only 66% now (And I'm guessing that the majority of people who use the .Org do not use IE), and it's falling fast.
Well, we should do that too. But FF and Chrome keep away the worst ones.
