Nope !

It's another little trick from M$ to get a peek of whats on yer system.

I have used IE% before and noticed some of the critical updates are 2.5mb in size, Have they really f***** up the software so much that over the space of 2 month's you have replaced,,(through all theese harmless little updates)your entire original installation of IE.

Microsoft ,,, the only People in the World that hack your PC at least twice a day & get away with it....If yer runnin MSIE or M$ Proxy that is.

Where-ever Possible I would suggest you use Netscape Browsers, Unless you need support for M$ Challenge Response,,, It's about the only thing MSIE does well.

Later
