Board index » Internet Explorer » IE7 update

Internet Explorer4
This has just updated on my home computer and I cannot access any websites at

all. I have checked security settings (with my limited knowledge), but looks

OK? Any ideas?

thanks in advance

Go to Start -Settings-Control Panel -Remove Programs. Remove IE7 and you

should be back up and running with ie6. Then change auto update and lock out

ie7 autoupdate.

I know of two causes for the vast majority of such problems:

1. Incompatible add-ons: What if you right click the IE icon on the desktop

and choose Start Without Add-ons?

Or go to Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet

Explorer (No Add-ons).



2. Malware already installed on the computer: Help with malware

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?

For quite a few people it's by installing Messenger Plus, whose ads for

malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you

owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see

what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure

of.
