It's finally out! :p

I've been using it since the BETA versions and the final release seems much better.

    Hi, I installed it yesterday evening, and after installation everytime i opened up my browser i kept getting a windows error message and kept shutting down, so much for the new browser. I had to install firefox so that i could get back on the net and revert back to explorer 6, which works fine. Also i have some sort of trojan which has a pop saying my comp is at risk and it has now changed my homepage to a deadlink on yahoo. I have norton protection which keeps picking up a dialler,generic, i have also scanned using norton, also adaware also skybot, and yday i even used the microsoft defender, but none seem to be able to remove it.

    I was using the Beta version it was awful ! pages never opened plus we got viruses & adware so I reverted to the old version. You couldnt cut & paste pages from the web because of the settings , sometimes old versions are the best .

    What is not stable about it? It's rock solid for me.

    its better than firefox this time. its just copied it an made it better.
  • Im not impressed with Exp 7. Computer kept crashing after I doenloaded it and now I can't find half of my old Word documents and keep getting an error message too. Exp 6 worked fine for me....why do they keep updating things esp when newer version aint all that?:confused: Guess it keeps the hacker geeks happy...

    In what way is it better ?

    And all firefox will do is keep updating an overall better package than MS.
