Re: Virus Problem

It doesn't. It always invokes Microsoft Internet Explorer for ALL of its links.
Is there any way to change this?
One of my friends has an issue with IE on her pc in that when it opens, her
computer dies for a while (she's too stubborn/lazy to re-install). So she'd
like it to open with another browser.
Is it possible?
