I have internet explorer.........

Starlight1_1 · ‎03-22-2014

${#emotions_dlg.confused1}$ Good morning all! I have a "error report" that interrupts whatever I am doing and shuts down the website and returns to the homepage. This happens more and more lately. I have changed to Bing and this happens also. Did a virus check [all good] after every session on the computer and delete cookies and history as well. Anyone here know what might be causing this? Thanks in advance. Star

Homeland security has advised against using IE for the present. You should see a thread in this forum.

I've never had this problem happened to me..... not yet anyway. Do you normally leave your computer on 24/7, restart, shutdown, sleep, or hibernate at the end of the day? I normally select sleep (I get on and off my computer throughout the day). I have to either do a soft reboot or shutdown within 2 days. {The computer nerds are going to blast me for doing that, but.... ppprrrrrttttt......}

I'm sorry, but I can't diagnose what is happening. However, it was on national news last night that almost everyone using Microsoft Internet Explorer as their browser should change to another browser until security issues are fixed. If you check the electronics forum you will see some others posted about this. I don't use IE, so I only listened with a deaf ear, but did call my brother immediately and advised him. He switched over to Google Chrome for his browser.

I don't know much about all this browser vs search engine stuff, but isn't Bing a product of Microsoft perhaps that is where the issues are coming from.

What version number of Internet Explorer are you using? If you are not sure go to the top and click on Help then chose About Internet Explorer. It will then tell you the version you are using.

I seldom use that browser because I prefer Firefox. Within any browser, including IE, you can go to Tools/Internet Options and go through and check the settings under the Security and the Privacy Tabs. Might see what boxes are checked and see if any of them look like they might be the reason you are being kicked back to home page.

Privacy and Security usually can be set to either not let you enter a certain suspicious website or a warning popup with ask you "if you want to proceed". Might try that and see if you find anything you can change that will not compromise your security.

If you don't have Firefox you might go to Mozilla website and download it and give it a try.

There have been news reports of major security/virus problems with IE the past few days. The reports warned people not to use IE till the problems were fixed -- a process still underway as of this morning 4/30. I had DH install the Chrome browser on my computer and have been using that instead. Easy to use -- and I'm finding it quite a bit faster than IE! I may never go back!

I have 11 and they said don't use 9-11. I am in chrome now but it is too small for me. They said on the news to make sure you have a anti-virus program which I do. Should I be using the explorer? It's the only one I know.
