Answer 1

explorers crap too many flawa lets in too many bugs ...quit while your ahead and download a new browser before you get infested with spyware...try mozilla firefox

Answer 2

If you insist on using IE, you need protection. I'm a fan of AdAware - a free software, as well as Spybot Search & Destroy, and Hijak This. Ad Aware will find spyware and tracking codes and deletes them, Spybot helps prevent unknown software installing into your registry (it asks you if you want to allow or deny changes), and HijakThis works to fix any browser 'hijacks'. As someone who works on the internet all day, every day, these programs have definitely come in handy - especially when people come along and use my computer for non-work related things and start downloading viruses and such.

Answer 3

I feel for you.... I have the same problems... I guess we could go elsewhere and get another browser installed if Yahoo and Ie aren't goin to help us out.!!!!!!
