So firstly, what exactly is a P2P? And if i remove limewire, is there another "safer" program to download that kind of stuff?

P2P is a peer to peer file sharing program. Did you read up on the site I gave you? There is no "Safe" program as the files are coming from users all over the net. So each time you download a file from Limewire, you are taking a chance that it might be some sort of malware.

What does it say when you go to the site?

Did you have this problem before IE7 update? Have you tried firefox and see if its just an IE problem?

I dont believe i had the problem before the IE7 Update. I haven't completely read up on firefox. Dont know if im so keen on changing the whole way of running stuff... Maybe i need a little persuasion.

It wont even let me load up sites such as hotmail. It just comes up sayin this page is not available.

Thx Excal

Firefox is safe, and you will find that most of the staff here on this site use it. Can you please load it up for me, check those site, then you can uninstall if you like. I want to confirm its an IE problem


Thanks,

K couple of questions about firefox first...

What are its advantages other than it being safer?
Is there any disadvantages abotu firefox?

Is it completely free?

Thx in advance for all your help Excal

[Excal]

The only disadvantage I know of, is that you can't update windows through it. But you still will have IE because your not uninstalling it.

It is completely Free.

I am not here to sell you on something you don't want to use. I simply want to know if its IE thats blocking these sites, or something else. Poke around on the firefox site and check it out for your self.

Hey excal, I downloaded the new version of Java, and am looking into gettin Firefox. Do you need a new log or anything else?

Thx for your help

K...decided to download fire fox, seems like a cool browser. I am able to get to all the sites i wasn't before.

Are there any add-ons you would recommend to make the browser even better?

Thanks for all your hard work Excal.

[Excal]

As far as the addons go, its comes down to what you want or need. They have some awesome skins too.

If you want to try and uninstall IE7, then reinstall it. See if that will work as far as IE goes, but I see no other malware on your system.


your welcome, my pleasure :0

k...i downloaded FireFox, went to add/remove programs, removed Windows Internet Explorer 7.0, restarted my computer, yet i still have Internt Explorer, and it is not in the add/remove programs section so i am not sure how to delete it.

Could you please give me a hand excal, soz for the inconvenience

[Excal]

ok, your not deleting IE, you were just uninstalling IE7, you still have IE6. Try those sites now and see if they work.

Excal

[Pin-Cushion]

Of Internet Explorer?

[Excal]

You can't get rid of it completely, and like I said in a previous post, you need it for windows update if you happen to even need to manually update windows
