Might I suggest you download/install/use the free Firefox browser from
http://www.mozilla.com/ ?

* It is more standards-compliant than either IE 6 or 7.

* It is cross-platform (running on Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Solaris, etc).

* It has tabbed browsing, which you'll soon grow to love (IE 7 finally
added it after Microsoft saw so many people switching to Firefox).

* It is highly configurable with extensions.

* It is more secure than IE, as it's not tied into the operating system
like IE is; in other words, a security vulnerability in IE is
essentially a vulnerability in Windows itself; a vulnerability in
Firefox is essentially merely a vulnerability in your web browser. Thus,
IE users tend to find themselves with more viruses/spyware than is the
case for Firefox users. (On the convex, since it's not part of the OS,
it does take a little longer to start, and uses up a bit more RAM.)

* In my experience, it does a better job of pop-up blocking than does IE
(which doesn't do it at all without third-party extensions if I recall
correctly -- it's been a long while since I've used IE 6).
