Yeah, there's an Update for folks who's stuck on Internet Explorer.

Clicky clicky

Or, go to Windows Update

Anyways, keep the Windows and it components updated.

Oh, forgot this from the microsoft.com:

Overview
When you open the Manage Add-ons dialog box on the Tools menu in Microsoft Internet Explorer, some installed add-ons may not be listed. Therefore, for example, you may not be able to select an add-on that you want to disable.

This issue occurs because, during the installation of certain add-ons, a flag is set in the registry that prevents the add-on from being managed through the Manage Add-ons dialog box.

I do, and have been since IE4. It works fine for me, and I don't get crap on this machine unless I let one of the kids loose in an admin account.

If Microsoft really wanted to do Internet Explorer users a favor, they make the option available for them to actually "uninstall/delete" those add-ons from that tools menu dialog box.

Hell- if I am getting a problem from anything conflicting with IE, I do not want it DISABLED... I want #@!$?ing GONE!
