At work, we are still using Internet Explorer 6. We can't browse other sites. We have to upgrade our browser but our boss doesn't want to. What can we do about this? Happy myLotting everyone.

you could download a different browser, that way your Internet Explorer remains on v6.

Have you tried explaining how insecure ie is and that the upgrade to firefox should be made soon to ensure the security of the comps? Not sure if it matters at your job but ie is seriously the leading way to get viruses imo. Ie should only be used to install other browers.

Yes, I told him about that. He upgraded their personal computers but not ours. I guess he doesn't like us to use newer versions.

I think you can't do anything about that. Because your boss say so. I think he don't want allow you to waste your time to do other things, and focus on your office work instead.

Yes, he oftentimes tells us not to update our browser. Internet is very important for us. We use it daily. We get information from different sites. So, we only use some sites which we can open using our outdated browser.

Ohhh God really still you are using old browser but when I was using old version of Mozilla I get lots of message your browser is old and update it. Finally I update it.

Yes, we also encounter those warnings. We have to update it. Our access to internet is a bit limited.

I doubt there is anything you can do about it. Since it is at work, then maybe just bear with it until you get home. But if you want to try, try downloading other browsers if your company does not restrict installations, which is rare.

Yes, we can't update it. That's our problem here. Internet surfing is a bit limited.

same here though for me is the ancient computer that I use that keeps hanging and it is connected to an ups that shuts it off every time there is a power spike. I would also suggest downloading an updated browser if your boss cannot be able to detect it but if he can just bear with it until he changes his mind.

Oh, we have the same problem. I hope my boss will update the browser for us. He told us that "IE6 is the best browser." LOL
