Re: Internet Explorer

why not install FF and get back to what you know?

or even try Opera or Chrome... Plenty of decent options out there nowadays!

Re: Internet Explorer

Re: Internet Explorer

It will be better for him to use Firefox as he knows how it works as well

Re: Internet Explorer

if you go back to firefox get the addons flashblock,adblock and cool previews

any more than that is over kill and will make sufing a hassle more than a joy

just click tools in firefox and selecr addons then a box will appear with a search bar and enter each addon above and click it when it appears then select instal

i used to be %100 internet explorer but after their last fiasco with taking nearly a month to sort out a vulnerability i switched to firefox

Re: Internet Explorer

Adobe are supposed to have fixed the flash security issue so just make sure flash is up todate.

IE changed too much for me and I find it hard work. To many icons and not words for me.
