I didn't actually want to install the new Explorer but I had no choice as it came with other Windows update files as part of a package. Now if I click on a file to download, the box that has the 'run' tab on it momentarily appears then disappears. Then in the lower right hand corner F-Secure tells me 'download' blocked. So I check and find that Tools>Internet Shield is in fact unlocked so thats not stopping it. Looking forward to your answers

Under internet options check on security. You might want to have the option of saying yes or no when an .exe file is sent to you. I haven't looked at the options on the new Explorer yet.

Happened to me too - one day I turned on my computer and my automatic download started. Whe it finished, I had internet explorer 7 with a new toolbar. Well, nothing worked so I went into my ad/remove program and I deleted it. Now everything is fine again. Good luck.

Hun, do yourself a favour and get Firefox...
Free, fast, a small 5mb download, Firefox blocks pop-ups and sites from secretly installing programs on your computer. It will copy over your settings from other browsers (cookies, settings, bookmarks). Firefox is powerful too, it's more up-to-date than even IE7 according to the web standards (w3.org).
The main reason I like Firefox is because it's customizable.
Why is customizability important?
Imagine being able to do 2 small things and never seeing a banner ad, flash ad or an iframe ad again? (Remember, pop-ups are already gone)
Imagine being able to pause your computer's music player when the phone rings without having to switch to it?
Firefox puts the power back in your hands!

It has auto certificate installation blocker. So what you need to do is if you are using WinXp or ME then do a system restore and then download the .exe files. Just for your information, IE7 is still in RnD and isn't successful like IE6

i do no longer know... attempt restarting? or uninstalling any previous variations of internet explorer, then re setting up? if neither of those artwork, i might say start up utilising Google chrome. it relatively is plenty quicker and in my opinion extra desirable than it.
