How do I use internet without using Exporer?

My Explorer keeps closing itself down - can I use any other way of getting on to the internet ?

Or does anyone have any ideas of what could be wrong with my explorer?

    have you run a virus checker?

    What about using firefox instead of explorer?
  • The message that I get is a box with 'Internet Exporer has stopped working'

    Then it says that a problem has caused explorer to stop working, then it just shuts down

  • If it will stay open long enough google firefox and follow the installation intstructions. I've been using firefox for a couple fo years and I wish I'd changed over sooner.

    as above download and install firefox as normal - also i would check out the thread at the top of this forum called 'how to speed up a slow or infected PC' and follow the steps
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    do you have access to another computer? could also download and burn off the files needed on that computer and then install them on your one with a problem

    Back up anything recent and do a system restore to a point where you remember it working
