New Internet Explorer 7 released

Internet Explorer 7 has been officially released. This important new update to Microsoft's browser will be automatically downloaded to your PC if you have Automatic Updates turned on starting November 1. While you have the option of not installing this update, HLP recommends that you do. I've been using it for quite some time now and it is good. But it is a bit different. I recommend you take the tour of what's new at: http://www.microsoft.com/ie.

This update has additional safety features and some great new features. One of my favorites it he RSS (or Really Simple Syndication) service to get updates to websites and news sites automatically displayed. In fact, our Blog has an RSS news feed that you can pickup with IE 7.

Look for the orange icon on the right side of our blog. This same icon within your IE 7 toolbar will light up whenever you go to a page that has a feed. (Like this one.)

If you're one of our clients and you would like to NOT get the IE7 downloaded to your systems automatically, give us a call. We will install a Microsoft supplied blocker to prevent the installation of IE 7 until you're ready for it.
There is a free blocker toolkit that can be downloaded to prevent the installation of IE7. This can be found at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=65788
