Thanks. I get nervous trying something major--I'm just a passive user (don't ask me what's under the hood). I use Yahoo as my server, so can I presume if I download Firefox it will keep all my Yahoo files intact?
Yep, installing Firefox won't change anything, and if you do a quick search online you can find an importer for your links from IE as well.
AKKK!!! I'm going to do that. I just spent a half hour trying to download anything. And it's still slow. I defraged, powered down, and tried everything. Even to get here, I had to go in the back door using Google. Accessing the site from favorites just hung there.
Hmm ... sounds like you may have gotten a rerouter virus. Yeah, get Firefox as soon as you can, then a script blocker (NoScript works best) from their addons section. It will save you a lot of headaches. If you were more technologically able I would recommend changing OSes completely instead (Ubuntu), but until you are more familiar with computers I wouldn't recommend it yet. Though next time you purchase one, go with Mac, they are very user friendly and have great tech support.
