My Internet Explorer appears to be "hijacked". It looks very different
from last month. Is there any software out there that might help fix it?


Thanks

Yes, it's called "Mozilla Firefox" and you can download it for free!

You probably inadvertently did the update, and it installed the new browser
from Microsoft. I did, and couldn't even find out how to get my mail.

If you are running XP, or a system that will let you do it, do a system
restore to a date before this happened. Start ... programs ... accessories
.... system tools ... system restore ... pick a date ....

Go to the Start button, and chose the Control Panel called "Add and Remove
Programs". You will find that removing Windows Internet Explorer 7 will
return your browser back to the original version 6 with no other problems.
I've done this on several computers of family / friends.

Why? IE7 has some nifty features.
