I decided to download IE7 today because I recently discovered IE7Pro. IE7Pro is a MUST have if you download IE7. I was one of the ones that removed IE7 from my computer because I didn't like it. IE7 didn't have things that I needed. Recently, I discovered that some websites have started rejecting IE6
and saying you must use IE7,opera,or firefox. I tried opera but it was slow, and I didn't like the way favorites showed on opera. It seemed messy. Firefox - I just don't like it. That leaves me with no other choice than ie.
On IE7 the only thing that is annoying is the toolbar on top. It leaves the last place you went to and you have to close it out. Other than that I love it.
Here is the link of IE7.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx
I downloaded it from that site. I have also included the plugins for spell check, and a plug in to read adobe files. I would be very careful when adding toolbars, and plugins. I only added in plugins that had a lot of reviews and comments on it. If the plugin has no comments or reviews try and leave a review on it for others to see if they want to download it or not. Some plugins you don't really need and just eat up your space. Whenever you download something like this they will try and get you to download a toolbar, and extra addons. ALWAYS uncheck those until you read reviews and see how everything goes on your computer.
Also make sure that you have plenty of space.
Defrag after you put in a new browser.
Here is the link to IE7Pro that is a must have :
http://www.ie7pro.com/
"IE7Pro is a must have add-on for Internet Explorer, which includes a lot of features and tweaks to make your IE friendlier, more useful, secure and customizable. IE7Pro includes Tabbed Browsing Management, Spell Check, Inline Search, Super Drag Drop, Crash Recovery, Proxy Switcher, Mouse Gesture, Tab History Browser, Web Accelerator, User Agent Switcher, Webpage Capturer, AD Blocker, Flash Block, Greasemonkey like User Scripts platform, User Plug-ins, MiniDM, Google sponsored search,IE Faster and many more power packed features. You can customize not just Internet Explorer, but even your favorite website according to your need and taste using IE7Pro. " - That's from their website.
The one thing I love about IE7Pro is the ad blocker works very well. I also like the Super Drag Drop. On IE7 gray background images on png don't show. Sites are faster to upload. When downloading IE7Pro it'll right away check for you to download plugins make sure to uncheck that. Wait to see what you need and don't need. I left the bottom one checked though.
If you have any questions about IE7 & IE7 Pro I can try to help but remember I am still learning it myself lol.
After you have finished everything reboot your computer, and make sure there isn't any window updates. I found that after I downloaded IE7 I had four window updates that followed. It took awhile for them to download but I see the difference with it. Always reboot your computer after installing any program, and updates.
I hope this helps to reassure you of IE7. I know everyone has different opinions about it so make sure to research it and go with what you like best.
I also would not download IE8 at this time. It's still in the beta version and they are fixing a lot of glitches and bugs. I would wait at least half a year before downloading it.

Don't even go there
I loveeeeeeeeee my IE7
