Whatever you do right now DO NOT upgrade to IE 7. The most recent patch/upgrade will stop you from being able to FTP to your websites.

This is happening to both XP and Vista users and was part of an automated update that happened last week and now this week with Vista.

If it's already too late for you they say there's a hotfix you can request although I have requested it 4 times in the last two days with no response.
