How do I completely remove Internet Explorer to get rid of adware?
Jun-22-2009 By admin
How can I remove it without hurting anything on my computer and to hopefully get rid of a bunch of adware messing up my computer and bringing up random pop ups? If I re-install it will it come back?
Ive been using Firefox the whole time now. Can I just use that and never have IE again?

You should use an antivirus program and antispyware software, if your computer is now infected with viruses and/or spyware.
Here you have more information on computer security, as well as good and free programs that you can download into your computer:

You cannot remove Internet Explorer. You just can't.
You can't remove explorer because it is the same system used when you double click a folder and browse around your computer- it is part of the operating system.
Just use firefox or google chrome to browse the net.
