IE7 more security issues - Important!

That's the trouble with you techie types. I have no idea what your talking about. I read the link and the advice from microsoft. May as well be written in chinese for all the good it did me.

Me too

ok that is easy, if you click on a big blue circular E to connect to the internet, thats IE7.

I just had a look at my icon, and it's BT Yahoo. Is that OK? Or is IE7 hiding behind it?

I dont think so, like i said some providers have their own browser, that doesn't make them safe , but doesn't make em IE either.

if in doubt, download firefox, its by far the safest browser out there, safari is suposed to be good, but i admit to hating it so have never really got on with it.
google chrome seems to be pretty good too, but i can understand why some people don't trust it.
although i have to say i was surprised not to get lumbered with the google toolbar on install? its not there guys.

ok will chat to Mr H and install firefox methinks

I've just downloaded Google Chrome, I'll see how it goes.
Thanks for the tips, and the patience

Well I'm coming to you from Google Chrome.............seems ok to me, if a bit different..........can't put my finger on it, but I'll give it a try for a while!

that will be the slimline look without all the tool bars across the top takes some getting used to, but all the same stuff is there, just need to find it.

I doubt it, its not that kind of issue, they don't want to kill your pute, they want to use it.

Rusty lady is on dial-up isn't she?

[RedThorn]

ok how can i tell if i use IE7?

If you click on an "e" (to access the internet), then
One of the easiest ways to tell if you are using IE 7 is right click on a hyperlink like the one in the brackets ( Google )
if you have a line there saying "Open in New Tab" it is IE 7

hope that helps

Is there a way to lock the tabs so that each time you log on the same tabs are open?
