Browsers and Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) users

[Len]

IE6 users, Please upgrade your browser.
IE8 Free Download (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/default.aspx)

You'll have a more secure, faster and better browsing experience.

Even if you don't use IE make sure your's is up to date. Other programs use components of it, like Office, to render elements. And you will still be vulnerable to security issues.

Other Free alternatives for better browsing.
Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html)
Opera (http://www.opera.com/)
Flock (http://www.remodelcrazy.com/forum/www.flock.com/) (built on Firefox - The Social Browser , try it if you have all the twitter, flickr, facebook etc. accounts)
Chrome (http://www.google.com/chrome) (by Google, still a little buggy)


Use multiple computers? Take your browser, bookmarks etc. with you.

Thanks, Sean. I knew that but I couldn't find the help button. When you posted, I looked harder and I needed to expand the toolbar.

Ok, Len, I have IE 7.0.6001.18000. Should I upgrade as well or am I ok?

7 is good, 8 is much better.

The bigger issue anybody not running 8 means you have critical updates turned off! IE8 is listed with 'important' updates and your system would have updated automatically with security patches. The most common way for virus's to infect a computer is to take advantage of known security flaws.
