When my computer autiomatically updates to Internet Explorer 7 my computer
starts to act up (I cannot connect to the internet and some of my programs do
not work. I did a system restore that took the program off and it worked
fine. I have tried to update twice and this has happened both times. Can some
one help me out?

First make sure the computer is malware clean, and an anti-virus doesn't do
it.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing Messenger Plus, whose ads for
malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you
owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.
