Internet Exploder 7

I was Just was wondering if anyone had upgraded to IE 7 ?

I was going to last week,
but I want to see how it runs first.:grinyes:

I was not impressed, but it has been awhile since I messed around with it...it was an early beta version that I used. And for whatever reason, I could not roll back to IE6 once I installed it, so I had to reinstall XP.

That sucks! :shakehead

IE6 with tabs is pretty much all. Not enough to get me to switch.

I hav heard several people say IE7 was buggy still...

Looks like I'll wait, IE6 does run ok for MS crap :evillol:

Not even going to bother. I just got Firefox 2.0 :D

I couldn't care less, I use Firefox, the browser wars are back, baby! :D

Yes, it is. I loaded a beta version and it was junk....... java script errors prevented me from loading about 10% of the sites out there, including AF.:banghead:

I deleated it and loaded the FINAL version last week........ and java script errors prevented me from loading about 10% of the sites out there including AF.:banghead:

As an alternative, I loaded Netscape 8.1 (horrible) and Firefox 2.0, which is super nice.

IMO IE7 is only useful for looking up Microsoft Windows upgrades.

hmmm how is firefox compared to IE6????

I couldn't care less, I use Firefox, the browser wars are back, baby! :D

back big time, now AOL has their own browser ver 1.5. based on IE 6 but customized. has a nice look and feel but I'll stick with Opera.

Firefox 2.0 runs pretty well. I don't even bother with IE any more.

I hav come to the conclusion that IE in general is bugy and full of holes, its unfit for any human to use :shakehead

Seems like MSN has some PO'd ex-employees or something.
Nothing but trouble, I should just switch to linux!

hmmm how is firefox compared to IE6????

Fantastic.

I have a quick question concerning IE7. I finally got hooked up to FiOS and went with Yahoo Broadband content for Verizon. I asked the tech who was installing it on my computer if he could do it to my Mozilla browser. He said he never did it to Mozilla as Verizon reccomends IE. So I had him install it on the IE browser on my computer, and a couple of days later get an email from Yahoo asking me to "upgrade" to IE7 for the added protection, blah , blah, etc. So I downloaded it and was preparing to install it when it told me to disable any anti virus and anti spyware software. I was able to disable the norton but have no idea on how to disable the spybot,AVG,Ad Aware, and the software program offered by Microsoft for virus and spyware. Do I really need to disable all of these to proceed, and how do I go about doing so?

Why are you running AVG and Norton at the same time? You only need one form of antivirus programming, or they may conflict with one another.

You should not have to disable Spybot. Adaware does not have real time scanning or blocking, so don't worry about that. Microsoft's spyware program should be fine as it is, no need to try and disable.

I would suggest you remove either AVG or Norton, but keep one of them. Then disable the one you keep temporarily and install IE7 if that's what you want.

Get rid of AdAware. Not only does it spy on you, but I heard they take payola to ignore certain spyware. A McAfee scan finds it as an undesired program and prompts you to remove it.

Do you have any proof of this?

Ofcourse McAfee is going to flag it, they want you to use THEIR software instead.

Actually, Norton is a "remnant" from when I had it on my computer pre -installed from Dell when I bought it back in 2002. I only bought a newer version one more time, Norton 2004, and that is what is on my computer now. I haven't updated it or done anything with it since it expired. I should probably remove that program, since I don't run it anymore. One thing I noticed about Microsoft's anti spyware program, I don't know how to run a scan or even update it anymore since Microsoft installed a newer version earlier this year. I don't know if it automatically updates it for me, as I think I had to do it after being prompted with the old version. When this new version was installed , it seemed to have removed all traces of the old version from my computer, even removing the shortcut to that program on my desktop, which I used to use regularly to run a scan. I can't find it on my computer now, so I know I wouldn't be able to temporarily disable it. I keep all my other anti virus/spyware programs updated regularly and run scans on a regular basis. I haven't had a problem on my computer related to a virus or spyware in the 4 1/2 I've owned it. The only small problem I have is an annoying page ( or pop up type window) that will appear sometimes from something called "oinadserver or Outerinfo. It disrupts whatever I'm doing at the moment, and when the page appears, I exit out of it. Most of the time the page or window is blank, but on a few occasions an ad may appear. I do have a pop up blocker but for some reason these ads seems to bypass it. Does anybody have an idea of how to rid myself of these annoying occurences?
