I'm a happy Mozilla/Firefox user for a long time now and my advice for you is to get rid of that buggy Internet Exploder!

Alternatives:
Opera - http://www.opera.com/
Mozilla - http://www.mozilla.org/products/mozilla1.x/
Firefox - http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

Nearly got hit by Worm.Win32.Sober.y virus tonight. Seems it's coming in under various emails, with a zip file attachment. Mine came supposedly from the FBI saying my IP address had been logged on over 30 Illegal Sites and to open the zip file and answer the questions.

Just a warning to be careful and yet again, watch what you open people.

Same here. On my computer was a message that there were 5 messages that contained this one too!!:angry:
