Tips & Warnings

• Find additional help regarding how to contact support at the Internet Explorer FAQs page (see Resources below).
• Internet Explorer 7 will run on computers using Windows XP, Vista or Server 2003 with a 233MHz processor or higher.
• Beware of spyware. This insidious software imbeds itself in your computer and can do all kinds of annoying things. Spyware can randomly install toolbars on your computer, change your Internet home page and subject you to unwanted pop-up ads. It can also sit quietly in your hard drive, all the while recording and transmitting information about your online activities to its remote host. Internet Explorer comes with a spyware blocker built in, which should eliminate most if not all of your spyware risk while online.
• Contacting support, as described by this guide, is done using Internet Explorer version 7. If you are running a prior version, you may need to upgrade your browser.
