task manager shows IE IS running but the browser window won't open. all other non-internet apps work fine, but i can't shut down or re-start from the START menu (alternately, it takes several minutes to shut down). turning off manually and powering up again usually resolves problem, until the next time it happens. i've removed all programs i downloaded just prior to this mess and switched anti-virus (from Avast to AVG). no effect, no viruses. upgrading to IE 7 made no diff. i'm using an Acer Aspire 3634WLMi with Celeron M 380 .

I think the either the whole windows or just internet explorer is corrupt. You will need to properly uninstall it, restart and then install new IE. One more reason may be...the system is infected with Spyware or malware. Download some quality antispyware from http://www.pcsecurityworld.com/antispywa... and run a check. You can try resetting IE to its default settings and see if that resolves the issue. Better would be to stop using IE and switching to either Firefox or to IE based browsers. Both are available at http://www.pcsecurityworld.com main page.

Did you run your anti-virus and anti-spy in Safe Mode? Click F8 continually while booting to get Safe Mode. If you see Windows flag shut off and reboot as you have gone too far. When you get to Safe Mode lay mouse on generic icons until you see the anti software and run it. Slow but worth it. Good luck. Also, try Firefox instead of IE.

Need help on IE..Firefox and Opera at workplace?

guys need your help...

previously at work, i can use firefox ..IE and Opera browser with no issue.. but now.. i can only use IE? why is that so? and how to resolve it?

i wanna use tabbed broswer like firefox and opera since my workplace can only use IE6.0..

Firstly tell your system admin he is a clot. If he must insist in forcing you to use IE at least make him upgrade to IE7 where you will at least get tabs and little extra sercurity.

Download firefox portable from portableapps.com and save it to a jump drive. Then you can run firefox off the jump drive on any computer at work.
Talk to your sysadmin. He's probably been cracking down on security, and therefore disallowing some programs.
Of course, a more feasible idea here is that using Policies, your System Admin has changed settings for everyone's Internet Explorer to use a proxy server. This is common in the corporate world.

Now in Internet Explorer, Go to Tools -%26gt; Internet Options -%26gt; Connections -%26gt; LAN Settings

If you see proxy settings there, simply make a note of them. Both Opera and Firefox allow you to enter in Proxy settings. Once you do this, you will have no issues browsing the web.

IE or Foxfire?

I have IE, but i have heard some good things about Foxfire. If i download it, will i lose my toolbars, and some other things, plus will i lose my anti-virus software? Right now i have Mcafee Internet Security Suite 2007.

You don't lose anything.

Firefox is a browser like IE but a bit more secure and you have a lots of add-on for it.

You can still use IE and have Firefox installed as well.

IE or Foxfire?windows movie maker internet explorerThank You. Report It


Foxfire... LOL... That's so cute!!!
It's firefox :)

Yes you will have to download the toolbars for firefox too, you won't lose them in IE.

Why do you think that you would lose your antivirus software ? the 2 things ain't connected in anyway, so that would be, no you wont lose it
FirFox UE7 Is slow and complicated FIREFOX FOREAL THO!!!!
IE is way better
you wont lose anything, its a stand alone, just like sea monkee that i use, made by the same people.
IE for sure
Firefox is crap.

It is very overrated, used mostly by brainwashed, pimply-faced, male adolescent fanboys, who are badly in need of female companionship, and aging hippies with gray ponytails. People of their ilk wouldn't have a clue how to properly secure any browser.

Firefox leaks memory like a sieve.

Besides, most people just want a browser to access the internet with, not a cult religion!

Ie defendrer?

I downloaded "ie defender" and cannot remove it. i have vista; dell inspiron 1721.

I tried "control panel: uninstall" but i get a mcafee popup that says this action is denied.

Ie defendrer?ireland

i just got this virus a couple days ago! i had a heck of time trying to find something to remove it. try SUPERAntiSpyware, it caught IE defender on my system and removed it for me and its free. i also tried the removal instructions from one of those forum websites but they were complicated and i didn't get the virus out. try superantispyware, it works and its really easy, you just wait for it to scan your system.

ad-ware works fine too. i used that too. ad-ware finds a lot of tracking cookies also that supersntispyware sometimes misses, but if IE defender is the only bothering you, superantispyware works really well.

Removing IEDefender, or IE Defender is a difficult process, but it can be done. IEDefender made its way into your computer without your permission and now it's damaging your machine. This rogue anti-spyware program will launch on every Windows startup and download more malware into your computer. IEDefender displays constant pop-ups and system alerts that mislead you into purcahsing the full version of the program. Do NOT trust IEDefender. I suggest you remove IEDefender immediately. Here are the instructions to get rid of IEDefender.

IE just died?

i use firefox mostly but IE now and again but it wont do anything, it wont surf at all. XP.

IE just died?microsoft access internet explorer

why do you need IE anyway? try connection settings and make sure no browser hijackers screwed with you.
Do a 'repair' of IE under add/remove programs, or, just continue using Firefox.
Run Adaware and Spybot Search %26amp; Destroy and clean up all that spyware that IE allows. Stick with your Firefox browser
IE version 6 sucks. I use Firefox mainly also. But, I would go to microsoft.com and download IE 7.0 Beta instead:

What the hell is IE?

If i download IE 7 does it automatically become the default browser?....see details?

I am wondering if i have the option to keep IE 6 as my default browser and still be able to use IE 7.This is my girlfriends computer and she hates change whether it betters something or not.Thanks for any help.

If i download IE 7 does it automatically become the default browser?....see details?uninstall internet explorer

Sorry you cannot use both. Best to keep 7 tho.

If i download IE 7 does it automatically become the default browser?....see details?microsoft.com internet explorer

IE 7 will replace IE 6. Just like any other software. the old one will be replaced by newer version.
Why upgrade to IE7 if your not going to use it?
Yeah, once you install IE7 it overwrites IE6. You can try FireFox and change the settings to keep IE6 the default browser.
IE6 will be replaced with IE7... I personally like IE7 better...
YES, IE7 does take over the IE6 and NO you cannot have both browsers on the same computer at the same time. However, The IE7 is an update of the EI6 and if you don't like IE7 you can always go back to the IE6 by removing the IE7. You can do that by going to add/remove programs on your control panel.

Hope this helps.
Please, please upgrade your browser to one that renders code correctly. Us website designers are sick of having to break our sites' code just so that people sitll using IE6 can get away without upgrading.

I'd recommend FireFox over IE7, but either way, please, please don't stay on IE6. The longer you use it, the longer it'll take before we're able to use the cool stuff like 24-bit PNG transparency that all the other browsers support.
No, when you install IE7, it basically upgrades 6 to 7, and you will no longer have access to v.6.x unless you uninstall v.7.x. If you require further assistance, please contact us through our website at www.whitewaterit.com
