I DL'ed IE7 and I'm having problems lately....I can't figure it out..the PC is acting as if it is full of spyware, dataminers and trojans.
The PC is always 2 seconds behind where I think it should be.

IE 7 is slow because microsoft added an anti phishing option for better security. You can go to the tools menu and disable the Anti Phishing option..

FYI

in IE7 if you want the fonts to grow larger (or smaller) just hold the control key down on the keyboard and scroll your mouse scroll wheel forward/back.

as others have said download IE7 for use for MS updates and then use Firefox to browse. many more features and add ons.
