This might have already been answered, but it didn't show up when I searched
for it.

I just downloaded IE 7 and it won't connect to the internet. The web browser
just sits there and says it's connecting to the internet. There is no error
message that comes up or anything like that.

I had tried do update IE when then update first came out and it didn't work
then either so I am now using Firefox.

I need to try to get IE 7 working because the antivirus software I want to
use can only be used with IE. If anyone can help me out that would be great.

HI MN,

Which Anti-virus software?

Did you turn it off when you installed IE7?

Look at your tasks list (ALT+tab) to see if there is a Window from your
Anti-virus software when you start IE (It may be hidden behind the IE
window), that will be asking something like "IExplore.exe wants to access
the Internet, do you want to allow this program to access the Internet?"

Regards.
