I only use i.e. when I have too.

(Back when Win Ninety Eight was the current O.S., someone wrote some code that excised the browser from the O.S.)

I think the browser did less "phoning home." :-)

Is there a way to block this page from loading ?

[/CODE]

I have seen code to fake out those decompressor i.d. programs., so maybe this is some workaround.

Thanks.

Why wouldn't you want to keep your browser up-to-date? Do you like getting infected by drive-by-downloads?

Only when required by Windows for security updates.

That is an awful reason to use outdated software with widely available exploits that target it.

It wore me out.

Three anti-virus programs could not detect it.
