Internet Explorer problems?

[hollohas]

So I am in CA in a hotel and IE keeps freezing even after a computer restart. My IE was working fine for the last couple hours and bam...freezing...so I fired up Google Chrome to get some work done and it seems to work fine. Didn't think much of it until...

...I just got off the phone with my wife and her IE keeps shutting down 1 second after it opens on her laptop in Denver. She said IE does the same on my PC at home in Denver but Google Chrome works fine so not a connection problem...hum.

Anyone else having problems with IE??? Seems super weird that IE all of the sudden doesn't work on 3 computers using different internet connections in different states.

I run chrome exclusively and love it for what I do. I have issues going to work where they use IE and try to use it like chrome one letter type and enters trying to get to websites. Ya it does not work.

Part of the reason I started using chrome is the random bugs IE has.

I am trying to make a change to my flight tomorrow, on the phone with Frontier and they tell me they too are having "technical problems" with their system, ...computers not working...do I need to break out the tin foil?

I better not get stuck here in CA when SHTF...

My family called me in a panic last night because suddenly IE crashes every time it opens. I talked them through starting IE with no addons and it was stable so I used it to download Chrome, which works fine.

Seems odd all around

Firefox and Chrome are good. Anyone use Opera? I've also been using Midori on my netbook running Puppeee. Midori isn't as stable as Opera but it is fast.

What is this Internet Exploder you are speaking of? The only reason I ever use Windows is because that is what work insists we use, and my wife uses Publisher and I haven't found a replacement open source software which is as stable, fast, and easy to use.

Using a web browser that is also your operating system's file browser is like using your penis to stir the water in a brothel toilet.

Firefox or Chrome are my recommendations (I'd probably switch to Chrome if it wasn't for several extensions I've come dependent on in Firefox ... that and I suspect Google is evil).

For the love of god, do not run Internet Exploder. Also, make sure you have real antivirus software installed, that it's up to date and operational. Make sure you rotate your passwords and use different passwords for different sites. A frequent method is to come up with a password scheme that involves placing the domain name, or first X characters of the domain name, in as part of the password. Not fool proof, but better than using the same thing everywhere.

Make sure you've set a password on your wireless router, if you have one, and that you've enabled encryption and passwords in order to get on your WiFi network.

Also make sure you have backups of all your important data. http://backblaze.com is $5 a month, also Evernote, Dropbox, SugarSync are other options.
