    I completed the installation of Internet Explorer by following the steps given but then it took a very long time to do so. And i have noticed one thing that after installing my computer has become bit slow and is not running as fast as it did before installing Internet Explorer. Is there any bug with this version of Internet Explorer for ubuntu. Or is it normal. Can some one please help me out.

    No problem with IE

    As you said that you are experiencing some change in the speed of the computer then let me tell you it is not related to Internet Explorer. And Ubuntu is free of any virus threats. So even if there is any bug in Internet Explorer Ubuntu version then too it will not harm your computer. So you once again check if you are running some more applications with Internet explorer.
