Normally use firefox 2 as my main browser. Also have IE v6 on my pc. Have not bothered to upgrade to V7 because few people had problems using it in the past.

However when using hotmail it opens a IE browser. Was wondering if it is okay now to upgrade to v7? Has all bugs been ironed out etc
Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D

    I upgraded to IE7 when it came out, have never had any problems with it and now it is my prefered choice browser.
  • Took me a while before I got used to it, but haven't had any issues since I installed it.

    Have just installed IE7 and so far no problems. I now have a window coming up asking if i want to turn on the phishing filter.

    I am runing spybot, spyblaster, zonealarm, avg, adaware and spywareguard.

    Turning on the filter will it conflict with the above?

    No it is a completely different thing. It simply checks the legitimacy of the websites, the software you are running won't tell you if you're on a fake paypal sign in page for example, whereas the anti phishing filter will warn you (theoretically). Some people say that it slows down your browsing load times but I haven't noticed any perceptible difference and my pc is pretty antiquated.
