A few users were complaining that IE5 didn't have 128-bit encryption yet. Nothing could be further from the truth! If you live in the U.S. or Canada, open up IE5, select 'Help' from the menu and choose 'About Internet Explorer.' Underneath the IE version, you should see "Update Information" underlined. Click on that link and IE will blast you to a page where you can download the encryption update. Yes, if you can do it, you should.
