    Our PC has IE6 loaded for browsing but I've noticed a few websites we visit; my email page for one, are now saying that our version of IE will be unsupported soon and we may struggle viewing it.

    How easy is it and is it free to get a more up to date IE?

    Also would this be why our PC occasionally runs slow when browsing the internet, especially given that regular and routine scans reveal no virus, malware, spam etc...?

    Thanks in advance :)

      May I add that internet explorer usually updates itself, that's if the computer has been setup properly.

        Yes, that's what I was thinking, Julie, if a computer is set up for updates there shouldn't be a problem.:snork:
