You could spend the rest of your life following those guidelines. I think
BillyG is just being protective. He knows which sites are bad, and
therefore locks up to prevent you from going there. Any site, for example,
from which you might download something to make using your computer easier
or more productive is automatically in his 'lock up' list.

My advice is - use Internet Explorer *only* for retrieving information from
MS or for downloading MS products.

For all else, Firefox is the way to go. Except for news reading, in which
case the old Forte' Agent (1.91) is the way to go.

But, JimH thinks I've got him killfiled, so he *must* be an expert.

And even more relevant for Microsoft is the fact that even with IE7 on
the market, it has continued to lose its grip over the browser market
dropping from over 80% in 2006 to 77.35%, while Firefox grew to an
estimated 16.01%.
I didn't even know what browser version I had - I've got IE 7.

Works for me.
I have IE7, but it keeps freezing up and then shutting down. I think it
has to do with security settings and my anti-virus, there are also some
web sites that just will not open in IE7 or won't allow me to log on, yet
when I use go to Firefox it opens right up.


I think you need to take some Computer 101 classes Reggie.



Some minor snippage.
