"Internet Explorer Updates"

I know there is some way of updating your internet explorer but I'm not exactly sure how. Anyway it would help massively if you could give me some pointers.

[This forum is officially my agony aunt column now, I've brought all my problems here and like cute little helper monkeys you've helped, bless yee]

I now have firefox and it rocks.

it fixed my hotmail problem.

It rocks!

Hmm, I think the time for Firefox has come.

Are many websites Internet Explorer picky?

Indeed! Firefox rawks\m/ Download it, take a little time exploring it and getting all you plugins and you'll never use IE again. And for those sites who require IE, download the useragent switcher as you can fool servers into thinking Firefox is IE!

Firefox beckons, is it secure?

Most of them patch back door issues with IE, some of them quite vital, just read through the list and decide, but knowing how borked IE is it would be safer to download all of them. Otherwise, use a different, more stable and secure browser.

I think there's a valuable lesson here in why not to use "dodgy" OS's

I'm not downloading all 40 something of those critical patches.

If they were that critical my computer wouldnt work, right?

I'm edging closer and closer to firefox.

Just go for all of the critical updates. These are probably the most important. Otherwise... Go with Firefox!
