Help and Support: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/ie8_browserDetect However, if a virus is involved then it has to be taken care of before you attempt to fix Internet Explorer or it will probably infect it again. You can post questions to MS forums.

The new thing is a Terabyte @ a cost of about, $79.00, might even be cheaper now. So, if you get one, get a Terabyte, you might have to spell check that word, lol. Good Luck.

You have to be careful of what sites you go to and what you open, but, if they do a attack, and you have some ports open, you become a victim. I've been fortunate, with this laptop, but, my desktop got crashed several times, but , I brought it back up. If you hit a pick 3 winning number, buy a "External hard drive, and save everything to it, files, operating system, everything, o.k. That way if you get a virus, you just upload it from the external harddrive. That's why the price of... [ More ]

Something really got inside here, overnight, literally. I can't install IE*, AVG, and even Opera browser, even though I had it today. It seems whatever I had in my laptop that was corrupted, also won't allow reinstall as if any components related to the corrupted program brings error messages during installation.

Sorry to hear about your techical issues. Do you have your system stored on a "External Harddrive"? And, have you saved all of your files & programs? You can restore it back to the day before you think you got the virus, that might help. Let me know what happens. And, that's another reason, I like having programs on CD's instead of downloading them.

I came home late last night and got an error message. My IE8 icon was gone along with windows media player. Some virus got in and wreaked havoc.

I tried uninstalling IE8 but it wasn't on the add/remove list. I tried reinstalling it but it said I already have it. I called Microsoft chat and they gave me a link for technical support but they want 39 bucks to help me. What a bunch of crap.

They stink.....!!!
