Due to security reasons, I switched from IE 6 to FireFox a long time ago. Did this pay off? I suppose so. A few days ago, Last Hermit suggested to me to run a anti-spy check using the software discussed in this forum some time ago. To my surprise, my PC was not that infected as I expected. The software didn't show me any malicious software to delete, but a few hundred cookies, including some cookies from my clients' websites. ...

A few days ago, Last Hermit suggested to me to run a anti-spy check using the software discussed in this forum some time ago. To my surprise, my PC was not that infected as I expected. The software didn't show me any malicious software to delete, but a few hundred cookies, including some cookies from my clients' websites. The new IE 7.0 is believed to be securer than its previous versions. At least this is something Microsoft wishes for the new release. I just downloaded the new version, which is not yet available in Chinese, and by far, found it easier to use. I love its new multi-tab browsing feature and simplified interface design, although this is maybe no good for newbies. It now incorporates a search function just as what FireFox has been using. But this certainly doesn't render Google's own toolbar useless. Yahoo! seems to work with Microsoft in the rolling out of the new IE. My Yahoo toolbar prompted me to download IE 7, which intergrated some Yahoo! features. For this reason, I downloaded the new browser but uninstalled Yahoo! toolbar. During installation, your PC will get checked for possible tampering by rogue ware first. I believe MS is attempting to give us a clean installation.

I love to use FireFox too, which's very popular in the open source word. Now the latest version has just been released. You can download it for free at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ Using Linux operating system is much more safer. The distribution I like is Debian, Fedora and also SUSE. | | | Han Li Китай Local time: 09:47 английский => китайский + ... 屏幕显示的字体似乎看起来更舒服了 | Nov 7, 2006 |
我也用了几天了,感觉浏览时看文字舒服多了,尤其是看繁体字和英文时,感觉比原来清晰了很多。也许只是个人感觉,也没有卸载再试6.0。 | | | wherestip США Local time: 20:47 китайский => английский + ...
I downloaded IE 7.0 from AT&T Yahoo Friday. Like Han Li mentioned, both the English and Chinese fonts have a nicer appearance. But now I get several errors every time I turn on my computer. Also it does an automatic chkdsk unless the check is aborted...very annoying. | |

Yahoo toolbar fed me the news, but I found that download would be from their site instead of from Microsoft. Fearing to get a tampered version, I went to Microsoft Internet Exploerer site directly to get the new 7. I think your AT&T Yahoo IE was coded with lots of extras. I hate those things. In this respect, I think IE gets too commercial in its effort to edge out FireFox. Best, Jianjun Thanks, Jianjun. It's not a big deal. It's just annoying to see these error boxes with red X's pop up all the time. If worst comes to worst, I can always do a ThinkPad recovery rescue. But then I have to bring everything back up to the latest version again, very time-consuming. Plus all my own data will be lost since nothing on my machine is important enough for me to go to the trouble of backing it up. I think I'll just live with the errors for now. At least they're not viruses.

I see my previous post got re-located, literally in two ways.

Hi, All I finally decided to download IE, 7.0 and installed it to my PC (using Windows XP Professional) last weekend. When I restarted the computer and launched the new IE browser to surf the internet and check my emails in MSN site, I experienced the slow response, or no response, and even freeze... It was a horrifying experience. I took it out and re-installed the older version back, and everything back to normal. What was it? Did my PC cause it, or the technology is...

Hi Kevin, I didn't experience this with 7 (English version) and XP Pro (Simplified Chinese). The browsing experience is good. The only problems I experienced by far are after opening a number of tabs, the speed is getting slower (comparing with FireFox it's no good in this respect) and some of the websites don't recognize this new version - so I couldn't download my exam pass from Test Center website, etc. Generally speaking it is better than previous versions. BTW, I ... See more Hi Kevin, I didn't experience this with 7 (English version) and XP Pro (Simplified Chinese). The browsing experience is good.

BTW, I don't use 7 with MSN, so have no idea why the services from the same company would be like that. Maybe this time Microsoft outsourced IE to other developers?

Kevin Kevin, I didn't notice any response time degradation in general. But in my on-line brokerage account, I did experience some unexpected different behavior. For example, upon clicking "buy" or "sell", windows which used to automatically pop up or refresh no longer did that. Instead it would try to open a new tab, totally preventing any kind of transactions. Upon calling my brokerage tech support, I was told that the "Navigate sub-frames across different domains" feature had to be enabled in the browser options. This feature is under "Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom Level". The guy I talked to said Microsoft made a mistake by not enabling it as default. Another thing he had me do is change the "open links from other programs" option from the default of "A new tab in the current window" to "A new window" instead. This setting is under "Tools -> Internet Options -> General -> Change how webpages are displayed in tabs -> Settings" It doesn't sound like what you experienced had much to do with these tab-related settings though. | | | Han Li Китай Local time: 09:47 английский => китайский + ...
