Loki Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Is it possible to totally remove this program from my computer? Now use Firefox and have no use for this at all, and want to clean computer of all programs I no longer need to make extra space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I'll assume your running XP. Go to Add/Remove Programs and then Remove Windows Components, select Internet Explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 which doesn't actually remove IE, it just takes away all the shortcuts to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Youve got two chances of removing IE from windows. None and f**k all FWIW I use firefox too, but its handy to have IE around just in case you find a site that doesnt like mozilla (of which there shouldnt be any but are ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted March 13, 2005 Author Share Posted March 13, 2005 I'll assume your running XP.Go to Add/Remove Programs and then Remove Windows Components, select Internet Explorer. I actually Im using Windows ME. The add/remove program does not list Internet Explorer, which lead me to believe that they would be little chance. Basically my brother used my computer and the lil oik got a virus on it. I have spybotted and ad awared and run my anti virus, but somehow the virus remains. It only affects Internet Explorer, when it automatically goes to a stupid page selling loans and pish. It doesnt affect me as I use Mozilla, but everyone else likes using Internet Explorer. I thought if I just deleted the program then they would have no choice but to use Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
