Lynn55 without any other reason then your online safety....
Change to any other internet browser bg.gif

When IE 6 was released under 48 hours after hackers had found 66% of the same safety wholes as before the release.. with the beta of IE 7 released some hacker groups found only 23% of the safety wholes that MS should had closed in IE 7
(% - Compared to other Browsers like Firefox, opera, the old netscape)

I cant trust my source 100% but i'm pretty sure. The guy knows what he is was talking about. He worked with MS when re-coding the Danish version of IE 7.0.

So just my advise change your browser.

Before 2000 over 95% of all internet registred PC's had MS with IE installed.
So ask your self. If you was hacking any Explore to send out a BOT Virus or any other iligal saftware you primary target would be IE ver 4.xx - 7.xx or even now 8.xx Beta. would't it ?
What !? you can say, but the sad thrught is even today MS is have a massive 70% of all internet browser users.
So even still most hackers and others target MS users ac.gif

try google IE security *wink*

Just my 2 cents... Danorge.

P.s Mozilla Firefox Rocks your world!
