Is Internet explorer s******g up my computer.?

Question

Everytime that I update internet explorer it becomes unresponsive. Once I do a system restore it works properly again. I had to turn off the automatic updates because every single time that it would update I would have to restore it to work again. This has happend to my desk top as well as my laptop. My desktop has been at the computer repair store for 3 weeks and they can't figure out what is wrong with it.

I'm running on version 6.0

Answer 1

yes it could be the IE.

Try removing all the tool bares from your IE as that is a common problem.

Try putting in fire fox it is a better program then IE is anyway and not that different to IE but just none of the bugs that IE has

Also Big Pond is a nightmare anyway but maybe it is something that they have in your system too.

Have you had service pack 3 in yet? as that could also be a issue

Good luck  

Answer 2

Uh, I know internet explorer has a higher risk for spyware/trojans/cookies/malware...blah, blah, blah.

have you tried to download "mozilla firefox?" much better for your computer! its safer & faster. It worked for me. Try it out!
