yeah i had the same problem. damn thing even destroyed some of my network services like internet connection sharing even though i had norton and some spyware protection proggies installed damn thing still comes throuh. i can reinstall my windows now. just because the board has loopholes :/ next time i'm using firefox for this board.
You don’t have to use Firefox, but nobody should really be using IE anymore. My quick take on the more popular alternatives:
Firefox: Initial functionality is somewhat lacking however excellent extensions more then compensate. It has an “ok” security track record, which is to say it’s had a few problems but these are very quickly addressed. It has a bit of trouble rendering very IE centric CSS webpages.
Opera: Good initial functionality but lacks the expandability of Firefox. It has an “good” security track record. Does a much better job of rendering IE centric webpages then Firefox.
Safari: Functionality is some what lacking and no good method of improving it. Security is “Excellent” and ability to render IE centric pages is better then Firefox, but not as good as Opera. Of course, you have to be on a Mac to run Safari, so that’s a pretty major “hurtle” for some.
Konqueror: Initial functionality is somewhat lacking however extensions are available to remedy this – however the number and variety of extensions is not as good as what Firefox has. Security is “Excellent” and ability to render IE centric pages is similar to Safari. Konquror is primarily a *nix browser/file manager, but with some effort it can be run under Windows; however it’s not really practical to do so.

RiX0R, the problem with that is its equivalent to the little Dutch boy sticking his finger in the damn. What happens if tomorrow they make the frame point to something else?
Here's a list of browsers:

Really for Windows users, just pick Opera or Firefox and browse the web a little more safely.

I'm not being funny, but the last time this happened, I downloaded firefox for the first time. WOW. All I can say is my surfing has been liberated. It is just Sooooo good. I actually thank the people who infected these forums, because they have turned me on to something that is truly magic. Firefox really is that good.
So if you haven't tried it yet, please do. It is now Microsoft that is playing catchup, and I hope Firefox sue the ass off them if they steal tabbed browsing for their next IE version.....

Well, unless you have a damn good reason for using IE, I'd agree, that by not using Firefox, Opera, or some other, better browser, your actions could well be called dumbass-y.
And jolting of to one post calling you dumbass, and in return slurring out 4 distinct insults, well...
Nice avatar.

Dammit , I donated an invision license to fix this .
I dont get it they make it so easy to upgrade from trial , It is not like this upgrade would be a skinning issue either .
I am calling that it would take 2 hours of actual effort to upgrade and apply all the latest security patches .

it should take about 30 mins to upgrade: upload the new files (takes a while as there is quite a bit) and then run the upgrader script which does all the hard work for you, make a cuppa tea and just sit back and watch. ive upgraded mine a few times and apart from when i ran the wrong script its never taken more than 30 mins.
this forum uses the default invision skin (i use this on my forums also) and the update will automatically add/change anything that needs to be done. the only thing which may need to be done manually is to re-add the banner at the top of the page.
