Will "Internet Explorer 7" give any virus if downloaded?

Question

I'm on the Basic internet explorer, and was wondering if i should download a new-er version.. but i wasn't sure if it was safe, or where to download it with a reliable source.

Can you help me.

Answer 1

No, mine never did - Internet Explorar 7 is good but I have recently switched to "Mozilla Firefox" - its another web browser that does everything the same but is more secure and much.... cooler - You'd like it. I f you want to try it out, just type in "Mozilla Firefox Download" in to google. Plus its really quick download (30 seconds) - and a quick install. Hope this helps :)  PLUS - If you don't like it, it is easily uninstalled and then you can download Internet Explorar 7. PLUS - you can get different themes for the web browser!!!!! Just found that out - really cool!

Answer 2

You always need anti-virus while downloading via internet. Be sure to download any program that protects your PC from virus and spywares.

I recommend you to use McAfee. It's the best I had ever used.

Newer is better. Newer versions contain security updates which fix vulnerabilities and also provide fresh new features for you to use.

Answer 7

If you want IE7, download it directly from Microsoft here:  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloa...

Answer 8

If you download from microsoft, you won't get virus.

If you do, you can sue Microsoft.

But to prevent your system from getting spywares/adwares.

You should get spybot search and destroy.

Spybot search and destroy is the best free anti-spyware tool that contains many features.

Spybot search and destroy immunize your computer against spyware.

It modifies Internet Explorer to block a lot of the bad stuff known to Spybot.

There is a second layer of protection for IE that blocks anything that should come through by different aspects.
