Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP and Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista have many security improvements that make Internet Explorer 7 less susceptible to spyware and to malware. However, badly written add-ins, even though they might not be spyware or malware, can affect the browsing experience in Internet Explorer 7. We have included a new feature in Internet Explorer 7 named Reset Internet Explorer Settings. This feature returns Internet Explorer 7 to its basic state, without any add-ins or other browser extensions.
