Thanks Dogula.
Here's a link to an alternate web browser that you may want to give a try Stone:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
A lot of people like to use it because it has far less vulnerabilities than IE currently does. It'll be interesting to see how secure it really is when it's popularity is anywhere near that of IE but for now it is more secure. I personally prefer the way Firefox downloads in comparison to IE as I've never lost or had a dl lock up on me in Firefox but it happens all the time in IE.
