Well, I turned the IE security settings to "low" to see it it would work (it didn't).

What, are you a glutton for punishment?  :-)

If a site doesn't work with security/cookie settings set to normal... DON'T GO THERE!  :-(

I didn't expect it to install on my computer when I clicked it.

In your security settings, look for "Script ActiveX Controls Marked Safe for Scripting", and set it to prompt.  That solves 95% of your security problems right there.  Macromedia Flash is the only ActiveX control I know of that's actually worth running, anyway.

Firefox v0.8 is very buggy, though I still use it for some reason.  v0.9 would barely run for a few mintues before blowing up, and it eventually died on me, so I had to downgrade.

Of course, Amiga.org has loads of parsing errors it its HTML code, so that might be an issue, too.  A major sin:  
Code: [Select]
<img border=\&quot;0\&quot;...
If anyone has big Perl/PHP issues, I can probably lend a hand, if only to check the syntax.  There's just as many broken PHP scripts out there as wonky HTML documents!

I used to use Adaware, but it went loopy when I upgraded to the new version a year ago.

It's always good practice to uninstall an old version before putting a new one on, so that might be what went wrong (I didn't do this with Firefox 0.9, so maybe that's why it fried itself initially).  Try re-installing a "fresh" copy of Ad-Aware.  kd7ota is right: SpyBot Search & Destroy is a load of crap.
