Adblock Plus is essential unless you have a superfast PC and fibre optic connection that can cope with all those annoying ads!

But isn't Adblock Plus an addon for Firefox browsers?

any reason you are using IE 7 and not IE8 ??

working fine here ??

I haven't upgraded to IE8 as I think it needs up to 1Gb space on hard drive.
I've only got 2.2Gb free.

My computer is also 7 years old which doesn't help running all the latest resource intensive programs.

java is on update 17 so yours needs updating

I'll update this.

Noticed that the Java update box appeared once, did not do or closed it.
Has not reappeared on reboot, which is odd.

So I may have been missing the Java update for update for many months.
