You're an idiot to use IE7
Deb Shinder, do us a favor and box up your PC and ship it to someone with a brain. The only reasoning you can give that IE is more secure is that it's a complete roll back to version 1.0. They removed all functionality and customization capabilities. It breaks on more machines than not and uninstalling still leaves the machine disfunctional in one way or another. Faulty connection management and other things leave the user frustrated and the lack of control leave Big Businesses scabling to find ways of blocking the downloads.
