Normal service will be resumed....?
Well - It's the 2nd April, and if "Conficker" is working, it is doing so in a conservative and decent manner!
So.....for the moment, it's back to normal service, and that includes, obviously, Windows and the Browser question.
Sometimes difficult for "beginners", it's all really a question of personal preferences and needs.
Just don't be rushed, and because IE is always present, if you use any Windows operating system, most beginners just stay with it.
Here are a couple of points you should think about before deciding which Browser is for you.
They are all simple enough to understand, but they all DO need a little thought and practice.
Put 10 minutes a day on your programme, dedicated to understanding your chosen Browser - it will pay you:

No reason to rush your upgrade to IE 8
By Mark Joseph Edwards
Microsoft touts Internet Explorer 8 as a big improvement over previous versions of the browser in terms of security, speed, and compatibility.
While that's basically true, the inevitable new-release glitches — which are already appearing — suggest you should wait at least a month before upgrading.
When you choose a browser, your first consideration should be security. There's no doubt that Internet Explorer is the target of more malware than any other piece of software. In fact, using IE is like painting a bull's-eye on your forehead and walking into a war zone.
Even though IE 8 adds some useful security features, its continued reliance on ActiveX makes the browser vulnerable in its very foundation. This lack of security is a primary reason many people have stopped using IE.
Security isn't the only factor causing Web denizens to flock to alternative browsers. For years, Internet Explorer's page rendering has caused major headaches for Web developers and users alike. Some pages that look and function as designers intended in Firefox, Opera, and other third-party browsers have their layouts broken when rendered by Internet Explorer.
IE 8 makes an effort to improve compatibility but ultimately falls short.
Performance is another area where IE has trailed the competition. Just as IE 7 runs faster than IE 6, the new version 8 is quicker than its predecessor. However, early tests indicate that IE 8 is still much slower than other browsers.
