The short story:
My internet explorer is pretty much corrupted somehow, and no amount of spyware/virus scanning can fix it. I will type in a web page or click a link and it will redirect me to somewhere completly different. This happens a lot (if anyone knows a fix, that would be good too)

I need a fast, free browser. Right now I am trying out Opera, and it is really nice, but it's only a 30 day trial with an ad banner at the top. It does not have the same problems IE did, so that's what makes me think my IE is corrupted.

Thanks.

I dunno how it is but try Netscape Navigator or Mozilla which is free i beleive.

Mozilla is working out to be amazing so far.. just some plugin troubles, but no big deal. thanks for the tip

u could try uninstalling IE with add/remove windows components. i dont konw if that works though. but yeah mozilla is great. it imports your IE favourties and stuff too.

I like Avant Browser, it's free runs on the Ie engine, has tabbed browsing, and it's stable lol

You can't uninstall IE, which sucks.
EDIT: Uh, stupid me, you can. Laugh at me, ya'll!

If you like mozilla then I think you would like mozilla firebird even better. Thats what I use. I swear after using this I cant stand to use IE anymore. It is so much faster (I dont understand how a browser can make it faster but i swear it does)

I got a brower called FIREBIRD.. small footprint and works great. Also fast and slick

Ive used mozilla and opera, both of which are better than IE.

mozilla firebird gets my vote .. once u get the plugins going its a great browser .. no more popups! :]

Mozilla ownz!

Firebird is based on the same (gecko) engine as Mozilla, in fact it's just a smaller/faster version of mozilla. Less options, but it uses less RAM memory and is faster for startup and rendering pages.
