Default A pop up window keeps prompting me to install Internet Explorer?

7.0..what are the advantages as my computer is working fine as is.Explain in simple language as I am not computer savvy.I just use my comp. for e-mails, IM`s, searches, games, etc. No files or electronic gadgets or games. don`t do online banking or any office or business accounts. Just simple tasks. I have Norton anit-virus installed and rec. updates.
I have Windows xp

Internet explorer 7.0 introduces tabs i.e, you can browse many pages in the same window using tabs. Also it has phishing filter that gives more security.


But I would say that firefox is more secure, versatile and customisable. It also has tabbed browsing.

Go to www.google.com and install the Google toolbar, it will keep blocking all the pop-up windows.

if you want you can update it but i recommend Mozilla Firefox, it is much safer, better, and faster then Internet Explorer
