Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / June 2008Unsupported Browser
ince the beginning of this year, when Microsoft did an automatic update, I have been having problems on many websites that gives me message sometime like "you have an unsupported browser need to upgrade to IE 5.0" I have downloaded IE 7 and have it on my computer so don't understand why I keep getting this message intermittenly. Help. Hi, Chances are that a third-party security/privacy program is blocking your browser information from these websites. Look through settings of your security suite, firewall or other security programs for an option similar to: Private Header Info - enabled Enable Browser Privacy Block http_referrer Click on this link http://gemal.dk/browserspy/headers.php On that page, what information is in the HTTP_USER_AGENT field? Hope this helps, Don [MS MVP- IE] > Since the beginning of this year, when Microsoft did an automatic update, I > have been having problems on many websites that gives me message sometime > like "you have an unsupported browser need to upgrade to IE 5.0" I have > downloaded IE 7 and have it on my computer so don't understand why I keep > getting this message intermittenly. Help. Hi, In addition: some websites or some scripts test for the browser version. If the script in questions expects version 6 (that is: if version 7 is unbknown), you can have that behavior.

Help. Windows version? What sites? What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)?
