    Can't say I've had any issues with MSE using IE7, FF2, FF3, Opera 9+. And I do frequently use IE7, FF3, Opera.

    I've found the same, but then again I wouldn't expect one of the largest and most commercially sucessfull web forum software companies to be making too many mistakes that would cause rendering issues.

    Just to clarify FF3 no issues with MSE, just a few minor niggles with add-ons and other bits and bobs.

    Nothing wrong with FF3 - Works fine for millions and far more powerful than IE7.

    As for antivirus software I would recommend:
    Kaspersly AV (£8ish or free for Barclays customers)
    Avira Antivrus http://www.free-av.de/en/index.html or
    Avast Home Edition http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

    and for Firewall software I use Comodo Firewall (free), it's a bit techy so if not that then it would have to be ZoneAlarm

    Ok Guys. Thanks for the advice.
    Comodo and Avast now in situ along with IE7 and a soon to be upgraded FFII

    Feels a lot better now.

    Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

    FF3 has a few issues, but FF2 is perfect, stable and works 100% with MSE, I rarely use any other browser.

    Apart from the huge gaping memory leak?
