Still getting used to this new laptop, its running on windows 7 but how do i find out which Internet Explorer it's running? i haven't used IE for ages, have Firefox on my pc, my thoughts are IE 8 but not sure

why not install FF and get back to what you know?

or even try Opera or Chrome... Plenty of decent options out there nowadays!

i thought chrome was good when i used to have it, have used opera too, wasn't too keen on that, don't really want to mess with anything on this laptop Ian, it's for Reece

It will be better for him to use Firefox as he knows how it works as well

if you go back to firefox get the addons flashblock,adblock and cool previews

any more than that is over kill and will make sufing a hassle more than a joy

just click tools in firefox and selecr addons then a box will appear with a search bar and enter each addon above and click it when it appears then select instal

i used to be %100 internet explorer but after their last fiasco with taking nearly a month to sort out a vulnerability i switched to firefox

Adobe are supposed to have fixed the flash security issue so just make sure flash is up todate.

IE changed too much for me and I find it hard work. To many icons and not words for me.
