IE 8 error messages

[BCs]

I am running XP pro SP 3 and am having difficulty with 2 areas of IE:

1) Unable to use web based email to contact companies that i need to deal with. (Easier than phoning some overseas call centre...). There is no email address to conatct them with just a "click here" on their webpage,
and

2: I often receive error messages when opening web pages such as the one below:

Do yourself a favor and stop using IE and download Firefox, Palemon (which is a better version of firefox) or chrome.

You will be glad once you switch to Firefox or Chrome, check out this article for some motivation: http://blogs.computerworld.com/18552/12_reasons_not_to_use_internet_explorer_ever

Also, on Tuesday, April 8, 2014 XP will no longer be supported and the version of IE you are stuck with will soon be 3 generations old and without critical updates anymore (http://www.zdnet.com/your-perilous-future-on-windows-xp-7000019721/).
