Is it true that, when you're typing an url into the address bar in explorer, and the address comes up automatically and you click it someone could hack you ( like if you're doing online banking ). Supposedly you have to type the address manually... Any truth in this?

I think you are referring to "auto complete" not "haxorz"

Worst case scenario, people can read info you are sending from your browser to a server. But sites like online banking encrypt that info, so you really don't have anything to worry about.

Typing a URL alone isnt going to do anything bad for you.
Using IE in general is a bad idea though. You can be infected with nasty things that are designed to steal your banking info just by viewing a web page. Even when you are fully patched and up to date.
