With as many IE7 device faults as i've got heard approximately, fairly frankly IE6 is a extra stable browser. :-P yet, dropping the editorializing and attending on your question ... in case you uninstall IE7 (administration Panel - upload/do away with classes), your laptop will roll itself back to IE6. And confident, you will nevertheless be waiting to get on line. yet another threat is to acquire the main modern loose version of Firefox. yet because of the fact it sounds like IE7 has tousled your connection, you are able to desire to get that fastened first. nevertheless yet another threat: do a device fix to a factor before you downloaded the main modern around of updates. that would desire to get IE7 working returned. Then, whilst domicile windows as quickly as returned provide you with the updates, use the custom mode and decline the replace for IE7. wish that facilitates. stable good fortune!

Use Search & Destroy and get rid of all spyware that's causing your i-explorer to do that. It's better to use Firefox instead.
