I've used IE for most of my life, but recently swithched to Netscape, because it's much easier to surf with, especially with multiple sites (there's not 20 browser windows along the bottom!!). You can download it for free from here
Also, it has some problems by default in opening up .exe's - this is double edged, because you really have to run a program, so you can't open it by accident, but it can be a bit annoying after a while!
