Julee- I got that message once when using the AOL IE 7 browser on Facebook and just clicked to close it and haven't seen it since. BUT...I don't find that Facebook and its apps run well with IE. I mostly use Firefox for those sites--plus it is a more secure browser. It's free--so you can download it and use it regardless of whether you use AOL's IE browser elsewhere.

Joan, I have also had the message to update to IE version 8 but not thru Facebook but several other websites that I use. I haven't done it as I also had heard that it had problems, same with service pack 3 which I have not downloaded yet. Does that still have problems? I do use Firefox some of the time because AOL is soooo slow. I do need more Ram so that is probably my problem with the speed as even Firefox takes a long time to come up but once up it is fine. I can't seem to get used to using the web based AOL, don't like it as well. I also have AOL 9.0 SE with windows XP on an E machine(4 yrs old).
