Hi, Alice,
Many thanks for the compliments; we (the moderators) are glad that
you're getting something out of the list.
Don't worry about "testy" posters...we run a tight ship, here, and
anyone who crosses a line usually gets kicked out pretty fast.
Regarding your problem with IE links, try following the advice on
this page at Microsoft's Knowledge Base:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q281679
(...and make sure that you run all future antivirus and spyware scans
in safe mode.)
If the advice on the above page doesn't solve the problem, it is
likely that one of IE's .DLL files has been corrupted by a disk crash
or malware. In that case, a re-installation of IE would be a good
idea.
Better yet, grab a copy of Firefox or Opera - then you'll have a
backup browser for next week, when IE breaks again... ;)
