Does Doodles Kisses Slow Your Internet to a Crawl?

[Adina P]

If Doodle Kisses makes your internet browsing SLOOOWWW...then you might want to consider what internet browser you're using.

When browsing the internet, do you use Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) or Firefox? (Ignore this question if you use Chrome or Safari).

If you are using IE6 I encourage you to upgrade to version 7 or switch to Firefox entirely. IE6 is 8 years old, and not actually safe security wise, leaving you open to phishing and malware attacks. It also can make your Doodle Kisses browsing experience slower than it should be.

You can get the new version of IE by clicking here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=9AE91EBE-3385-447C-8A30-081805B2F90B&displaylang=en
Click here instead for version 7

Or you can download Firefox (free) here -- Firefox is my preference and my recommendation, but it's not the only option.

I can say this is true....I had an issue on my home desktop and Firefox fixed it and it also has that great spell check feature...very nice!! I use it on that computer now!!

[Adina P]

Yes, that spell check is a real plus. I have no experience with the updated IE, but it's worth trying over the 8 year old version.

I have used Firefox for a few years now, and I really like it.

[Karen & Lucy]

OK, since I am not very puter savy, what do I do to get firefox??????

[Adina P]

The links are ALL above in my post. If you want to keep IE and all your bookmarks, you can upgrade to version 7 instead of switching to Firefox. Either way it requires you to DOWNLOAD one of the above. Check above in my post for links to both options.

Thanks Adina, I get in too much of a hurry when reading and doing things and just did not pay attention to the whole post. I did do that and not have firefox. Thanks a bunch!!!!!!!!!!

[Adina P]

CORRECTION: Please see updated link for IE above. The link I gave you (now crossed out) will likely lead you to the version 8--but that version is a beta version (meaning it is still being tested). Use the one after the crossed out one instead for version 7 IE. Or click here to download it: Internet Explorer 7

I use Firefox on my Apple because that is what my friend installed. On my desktop I don't even know.

[Tamara & Giada]

OK, I was going to download the IE7, but it said for XP.............I have Vista on both PC's, so will it work w/that?

[Adina P]

Hmmm. I would think Vista would come with the latest one. Are you sure you don't already have it?

[Tamara & Giada]

No, I'm not sure.

Let me know what you figure out. but send me a private message as i may not see this thread update.
