There is NO security Tab under Tools...Internet Options on my newly
downloaded Explorer 7.

Thus, I cannot "fix" or have automatically fixed, my "low-security" settings
that pops up everytime I open Internet Explorer 7.

Nice. Continued screwed up Microsoft Software. Never works right. Typical.

Let's leave aside for now the question of who is truly "screwed up".

Before installing IE 7 you need to carefully follow the pre-installation
preparation described below. Otherwise you will probably end up with an
incomplete or damaged installation.
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install.

Uninstall IE 7 (which returns you to IE 6) by following these directions:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927177
....and...
http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html

Download the IE 7 installer directly from Microsoft and install from
your hard disk:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/dow.../getitnow.mspx

If you followed the correct installation procedures and still have
problems, they are most likely caused by an incompatible add-on. Start
Internet Explorer from a shortcut on your desktop with the following
target (don't forget the quote marks):

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -extoff

If the problem no longer occurs, one (or more) add-ons was causing the
problem.

A simpler solution is to reset IE 7 to its original configuration.

Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > under Reset Internet Explorer
Settings, click Reset.

If the problem no longer occurs, one (or more) incorrect configuration
settings was causing the problem. [If you want to continue to use any of
your add-ons after a reset, you may have to reinstall them.]

Problems with IE 7 can also be caused by the presence of viruses or
other malicious software.

And your Suggestion would be...?

You may have a horked (dirty; bad; flawed) install of IE7. I suggest that
you...

1. Uninstall IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6) EXACTLY per
http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html [Only use the Command
%windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe if you cannot uninstall via Add/Remove
Programs!]

2a. Uninstall all toolbars and third-party Windows Themes (including Window
Blinds).

2b. Disable all Norton Add-ons, if applicable.

3. Reinstall IE7 EXACTLY per
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install <= Steps #1-8, #10 &
#11; take note of #12, then STOP!

NB: Use http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/default.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.

Or Direct Download link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...0-081805b2f90b

Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it.

4. IMMEDIATELY go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any
critical updates offered. If a "Root Certificates" update is listed in the
Optional category, you might install it, too, to take full advantage of
IE7's additional security.

1. Where did you get IE7?

2. I suggest you uninstall everything from Microsoft on your screwed up
computer. Windows is from Microsoft.
