I downloaded IE7 yesterday & suddenly had many problems getting online
plus others. I called microsoft on the"no charge" line & after doing
some tests was told "IE7 has some issues with Webroot & Norton. It was
suggested I uninstall them to correct the problem but I uninstalled IE7
insread & went back to IE6. Since then no problems.
Hope this helps someone.

TO Malke: SO sorry. being new and nowhere near being a "Guru" I didn't
realize I'd upset you. Why don't you transfer the info to the proper
area. Thanks!
 
I had no trouble at all installing or using IE 7, but I don't use Norton. My
experience with Norton is that it is a creator of problems, not a preventer.
I suggest you try the AVG Free Version from Grisoft. It is a great
anti-virus program and it is not intrusive.

Also, a good adware program is Ad-Aware SE from Lavasoft. It is free as
well.

By the way, if you did not shut Norton down during your attempt to install
IE 7, that may have contributed to the problems you encountered. The
Microsoft IE 7 download screen has a precautionary note advising users to
shut down programs running in the background, including anti-virus programs.

To Papa{Thanks for the info. I did disable Norton to install IE7,but
still have some time remaining on my subscription so I'm not going t
dump it now. I've heard a lot of good things about AVG & may go to i
later. I have had Ad-Aware for some time & check it regularly
