Re: Beware of IE7

Hi,

My 2 cents,

Please disable auto-start option for all programs and especially for
anti-virus program - not just disable before installation but disable it
from auto-start since IE will reboot the system and conflict may start from
that point.

Hope this helps.

Possibly ;-) but it's not an upgrade from IE6, it's a completely NEW
application....

Funny, it has the name, IE, similar icon, it's called an upgrade all
over the Net and, usually, 7 comes after 6. Silly me, how on earth could
I think that IE7 is an upgrade to IE6?
