Internet explorer sucks
Posted by Tricia on February 4th, 2004


Is it possable to not have Internet explorer on my
computer at all and still use internet normally with my
provider. IE causes ten billion popups and causes my
curser to move from where im typing and slows things up
badly. How would I go about uninstalling it if I can?

Tricia,
Have you tried using a pop up stopper? Here is one that does
a decent job of it... Most likely half of the pop ups are coming
FROM your server... Go here and download this and install it.

Hope this helps..

Removing it completely ...

(Windows Update will stop working though, and QuickLaunch has to be
rebuilt and a couple other things)

It isn't IE that's giving you problems. If I were you, I'd try to find out
what the real problem is instead of creating news ones by removing IE.

Leave it alone and use another browser. I have I.E. on my computer

Removing I.E. will cause you more problems than you have now.
