IE Sucks!

Madgoat1979 · Nov 25, 2003, 09:04 AM

ok, I dont know what just happend....

I can go anywhere on my friggin IE!!!

I open it and acts llike its loading a page... But it takes forever and it seems to give up!!!

I had to get Mozilla "Firebird" (which by the way kicks ass!!!) to even get on to driver heaven!

I dont know whats up with this! It also has some kind of spy way shizzaa on it that everytime I search on google, it shoves me tward this page that I've never seen before! Some crappy "Search for everything" page...

Oh well, I guess... Is there a way to fix this... Or uninstall IE completly?

I'm with you that IE sux bigtime. I use Opera instead since it's much faster and reliable than any other web browser I've ever used.
The only time I must use IE is when I'm updating my windows.

...IE6 seems to hang on the front page yet..... it loads the top part but nothing else.... all i do is hit HOME and it loads it completely..... hitting refresh doesn't work....

Well a lot of users including myself are having problems loading in the frontpage using IE. But we've got our in house technician working on it (Uberlord

) It's a problem with getting all the different ad's working together and loading at a reasonable speed. Thanks for your patience. If your having problems with being re-directed to wrong sites, you should also check out your hosts file. C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\

The only entry you should have by default is for localhost.

i use IE and firebird and although firebird seems a little faster, it crashes on me quiet a bit.(IE never does)
so i guess everyone has different problems.

Your IE is acting up not because IE is bad but because you let spyware/adware/malware get inside your computer. If you don't know how to secure your computer, dont' visit websites that has porn and cracks in them. Otherwise, something will sneak into your browser and give you headaches and trouble.

You're in luck, however. There are many good programs to rid you of your troubles. I use these programs and my browser have never been hi-jacked:

(1) ZoneAlarm Pro Firewall
(2) Spyware S&D
(3) AdAware
(4) PestPatrol
(5) The Cleaner
(6) Norton Antivirus 2004
(7) Analog X Cookiewall
(8) Analog X Pow!
(9) NoAds

I may be paranoid but it's better safe than sorry. I visit crack sites frequently but they don't install anything on my rig cuz I don't let them.

I hope you're able to cure your IE's troubles. Good luck.
