Phony IE

[ednachman]

When using IE to get hotmail there is a message that wants to make me join MSN of sorts. I'm not sure this is a legal Microsoft Web page. If I use Mozilla to get hotmail I don't get the message and it goes to my hotmail address. Has anyone else had this problem?

If by "there is a message that wants to make me join MSN of sorts" you mean the "New to MSN", "Sign Up" bits that appear to the left of the "Sign-in" box, then yes, I do see them.

But I also see the sign-in box on the right, so ignore the content on the left.

When I click on the IE icon on my desktop it is supposed to take me to my home page which is Hotmail. I initially typed in my user name and password as asked for. When I pressed "enter" I was directed to a page entitled "MSN Hotmail - Review and sign the Agreements" I exited and re-tried the home page and went directly to "MSN Hotmail - Review and sign the Agreements" This does not happen when I click on the Mozilla icon which takes me directly to my home page which is my "Hotmail.

You could try adding the Avant front end onto IE.

http://www.avantbrowser.com/

Avant has all kinds of options to block unwanted sites, pop-ups, adverts and other downloads.

It also features tabbed windows enabling easy viewing of multiple pages, however it doesn't work well with corporate proxy servers but it's fine for home users.
