A few days ago, I changed my internet security from Kaspersky to Avast. But doing that seems to have caused a lot of problems in IE, forcing me to use Firefox.

So now, when I use IE:


I can only view the top bit of AB forums



Reloaded Shoutbox is forever Initializing itself



I can't watch any YouTube stuff, cos the 'Play' button is missing





There are a few other things that I can't access either, which are more serious.


I've tried resetting IE options,disabling & re-enabling all addons, uninstalling & reinstalling IE8. Avast and AVG don't show any viruses.


I'm desperate. Does anyone know what could be wrong, or how I could fix things?

Yes, the problem is that you aren't using Mozilla Firefox.

[_r.u.s.s.]

and why don't you click the compatibility view which it is telling you to press?

also yes, you can not use internet explorer because it is stupid

[_r.u.s.s.]

and by the way, nobody normal likes ie, there is absolutely no advantage of that browser from any other browsers

I'm with Russ on this, after you make to Firefox, you'll wonder why you didn't start with it earlier.

I don't like being forced to use firefox to post here.

I much prefer I£. So... any suggestions?

[_r.u.s.s.]

the valid suggestion ever is anything but internet explorer

[Frodo]

You don't like IE - I get that.

Do you have anything helpful to say?

I did, and it doesn't help any.

I have already said in this thread that I am forced to use firefox, and I don't like it.

Thankyou for trying to help, Hoseman.
Doing what you say loads the AB forum, but not the Shoutbox. And it doesn't solve the problems for other sites that seem to be blocked now.
