It doesn't state it clearly, and I can't recall from when it got installed on my mother's laptop, but does XP SP3 install MSIE 7 with it? I'm thinking of just putting it on so windows update stops nagging me, but I really don't want to upgrade from MSIE 6, which I already have and use.
-
SP3 doesn't install IE7, its optional. I'm running a torrent box computer that has SP3 but has IE6 on it (it uses Firefox for internet anyways). But I thought I read that M$ was going to start forcing users to use IE7 IIRC (read some blurb about it last week).
-
It's a very very bad idea to use IE6 especially if you haven't hardened it with tight security settings.
IE7 is supposed to be a tad more secure but I would definately use Opera or Firefox instead.
-
My mother moved to IE7 and it really started screwing things up. I restored her back to a point where she had IE6 on.
I have extensively fiddled with the security settings and options on mine, so I'm "fairly" safe using it.

on the online update click the + sign to view details. at the bottom there is a check box "Don't show this update again " tick it if u dont want to c the update anymore.
if u click one by mistake theres another option on the left menu to "restore hidden updates".
