    Firefox 3 is much better and faster than Internet Explorer. It is perfectly safe if downloaded from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

    As for the shield on the task bar that is Windows update and is perfectly safe to run. It is normally installing patches to the system that will make it safer from viruses.

    IT should be perfectly safe to download; however there is the chance that certain websites may not support this OS. This only happened to me once, but since it was for online courses I take, it was enough to reverse the upgrade.
