ie7 but first disable spyware...How?

by gargoyle Oct 24, 2006 5:23AM PDT

MS declare that some programs must be disabled, of those that I have only AVG(Free) allows me to do this.

Free versions of Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, SpywareBlaster, Windows Defender seem fixed. No help available for free software (fair enough) but it leaves me (and how many others?) with a problem.


Is there a solution that will help? Perhaps I may risk it after creating a restyore point?

7.1 would normally be my choice...
by gargoyle Oct 24, 2006 9:25AM PDT

...but for all the published beta versions I thought v7.0 might be worth it!

In any event, I fancy my problem will still exist so I'm hoping that one of you kind experts will be able to help me.

Regards

Marks out of ten?
by gargoyle Oct 25, 2006 5:50AM PDT

Thanks for that link Bob, I read the lot earlier and have to agree that the final (well, maybe final) conclusion must be to consider Firefox as the remedy for all Microsoft problems. A supreme paradox.

I feel that had Gilbert & Sullivan been alive today, they would have made millions on the subject.

Installing IE7
by Jane917 Oct 24, 2006 6:55AM PDT

I am also having trouble installing IE7, though my computer seems to install anything else just fine. I have NAV, which is have disabled during installation, but the installation just hangs. The only solution I can think of is to install in safe mode, but then I am afraid something will conflict when I start up again. Is anyone else with NAV having trouble installing? I can't find any support on the Symantec site. I don't want to uninstall NAV.

I gave up and installed Firefox. It installed in less than 5 minutes with no hitches.
