IE8 not connecting to broadband

Pisces121

Hello, hope someone can help me please.

I have had IE6 but downloaded IE8 this morning. Download went well but I could not connect to my broadband. My email would not connect either.

Uninstalled IE8 and back to IE6 and everything was back to normal!

Is there something I should have done to make IE8 connect to my broadband.

I have XP.

Many thanks.

Are you using a third party firewall

router?

what are the connection settings in IE, tools, internet options, connections, and lan settings?

post a hijackthis log

I am using CA aniti virus, Malwarebytes and the Lan setting is 'automatically detect.

Had never heard of CA AV (it's not sold in the UK?).
IE6 is incredibly out of date (IE7 was released 5 years ago), are you up to date on your Windows Updates-on XP SP3?

automatically detect usually results in a slow IE startup, AV with firewall?

I suggest downloading firefox, check you can get online, post a hijackthis log, and redoing the update

Past experience of that AV wasn't favourable.

Remove the check mark from "Automatically Detect", apply and exit.
