Browser Upgrade Microsoft Internet Explorer


You are using an old version of your current web browser, don't worry, this is easily remedied by simply upgrading your current web browser using one of the following link:

Paul, the best advice I can give you is, go to http://www.avantbrowser.com/download.html and get the latest version of Avant Browser. It is only 1.11Megs and is based on IE so virtually all sites accept it. I just checked the o2 site and it works ok there. It has all that IE has and more, including Tabbed browsing so yo can have more than one page open at a time, all tabbed along the bottom. It also has Flash Animation Filter, Built-in Pop-up Stopper, Additional Mouse Functions, Multi-Window Browsing, Full IE Compatibility and Safe Recovery: If Avant Browser is closed improperly, all open web pages are saved and will be automatically reopened at next startup. And more but won't take up anything like the space IE does or use as much of your limitted resourses and it uninstalls easily if you don't like it (which I doubt very much).

Malestrom

Just to add an alternative, there's always Opera as well. Very similar features to Avant. Also you can try Firefox which is another alternative web browser.

Does anyone still use IE? :P

Malestrom, I've used both Opera and Firefox and will probably be returning to Firefox soon now that they've progressed beyond the Beta version but I just offered him Avant in an emergency because I know it works with the o2 site and his resourses are limitted, otherwise I would recomend anyone to use Firefox without doubt.
