128 bit encryption is just a higher level of encryption for your browser.
Normally IE loads as a 40 bit or 56 bit depending on the version. You can
check your encryption by clicking on help and then click about internet
explorer. I have downloaded it numerous times without a hitch. If you are
doing any kind of on-line transaction or banking you might consider using it.
There is also a 128 bit encryption patch for dial-up networking. Hope this
helps.
