IE7 will NOT give your PC a virus.  There are some performance issues and some people just plain don't like it.  Like any other Microsoft product, somebody will eventually find a security problem with it, but by its self, IE7 will not give you a virus.  Be sure you get it only from Microsoft.  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx

Ignore it. Usually, if you download it from the Macromedia site, no viruses are attached or anything.

I tested all three beta versions of IE7 an installed the final version.  IE7 technology is actually copied from Linex.  An it is asbolute garbage.  \n\nThe entire program slows down your system to a crawl.  An I have broadband an it did not make a difference.  I even removed all the security out of Ie7 like phishing to scan each webpage.  An still IE7 ate up all my resources and slowed my pc almost to a hault. \n\nI removed the IE7 and you will get an automatic roll back to IE6 6.0  -- All of my speed came back.\n\nMinddoctor, France

Get rid of the problem by downloading Mozilla Firefox, and start using only Mozilla.\nI had similar problems with IE, and they disappeared when I started using Mozilla.\nAlso, if you don't have them already: go download.com and get AVG Free (antivirus), then Adaware SE (anti spyware), if you can find Symantec Personal Firewall (best free firewall out there) and RegCleaner 4.0 from here: http://www.dewassoc.com/support/useful/regcleaner.htm\nyou'll be protected.\nI guess whet I told you was beside the question, but I know how frustrating it is when things aren't right, and what I mentioned is what I use every day with superb result.\nGo Mozilla!

What makes you think it's a virus?  Windows can just get strange like that sometimes, i've seen IE pop up errors for google saying there were coding errors.  Grab a copy of firefox at http://frozendice.com/firefox/ \n\nTo actually fix your problem, what is the EXACT error you are getting?  Is your hard drive full?  You might be trying to save it to a protected or non writable directory.  Without the exact error of the problem I can't do much.

Just uninstall it - you'll get IE6 back.  Ver 7 is a pile of rubbish - don't download it again :)

Well lets put it like this. If your currently using IE6 , you should know Microsoft will be cutting off support for it. Which means no more updates and what not, so basiclly you will be forced to get IE7, So you might as well get used to it now. I have it and I love it , never had a problem with it! Hope thats helps a little!!

How do I know you are running Microsoft Internet Explorer, and not Firefox or Opera or any other browser...\n\nbecause Microsoft Permits naughty scripts to do naughty things! It has so many pop-up questions that it is difficult to tell what is important and what is not.\n\nTurning on javascript alone does not clobber everything... but MS's javascript + activeX can do that!\n\nJust say no to viruses and spyware (get protection!!!) or just getfirefox (http://getfirefox.com)

If you get this website every time you open your web browser, its a browser hijack and they can be difficult to fix. They're easier to prevent.\nYou need to run some security software in Safe Mode, then install a program called Tweak UI that will restore the Internet Explorer settings. You get TweakUI from the Microsoft website.\n\nBefore attempting to remove malware you must switch off System Restore as back up files will be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.\nRun your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.\n\nThen beef up your security. Its easier to prevent malware getting on to your sytem in the first place rather than trying to remove it.

Go to control panel, Add-remove and uninstall IE7. IE6 will come back automatically.

Open Control Panel then Add Remove Programs. If you upgraded to IE7 from 6 there should be an uninstall item in the list.

Dial up has nothing to do with IE7. Depends where you downloaded the browser; if its from a secure location (MSFT for example) you should contact your ISP to give you the settings again (it might have been wrongly installed); if u got it from I don't know what obscure site then... u have a virus!

Don't use Internet Explorer. \n\nUse Spybot Search & Destroy, and also Adaware. They will help get rid of spyware, adware, other malicious programs you don't want. \n\nUse Firefox for safer browsing. You won't get popups, or spyware.

Have you checked to see if there is an updated version of the "bigfix" program - you really don't want to uninstall IE7 if you can possibly avoid it - too many SYSTEM-WIDE security upgrades brought about by installing IE7 to neglect by reverting to IE6 (yes, even if you never use Internet Explorer to surf the web).\n\nGet on the phone and chase up Gateway - if they haven't yet updated their software to be compatible with IE7 then this is simply not good enough - they've had plenty of time to do so by now
