Solve : Windows aol Internet Explorer?

Answer»

Hello
I recently disinstalled my aol.Now,I am divesting myself of aol stuff.
My Internet Explorer is aol,but is also Windows.
Do I keep ir,or delete it?
Thanks'
FrankInternet Explorer is part of Windows and cannot be deleted.

AOL might have added a toolbar or changed the title of Internet Explorer but both can be fixed.

If you have a toolbar, it should be listed in Add or Remove Programs.
If the title of Internet Explorer has been changed, you can either change it with SpywareBlaster or by editing the registry.  I recommend using SpywareBlaster.

You could also use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. Quote from: Kip on July 03, 2009, 01:24:48 PM

You will still need Internet Explorer for windows UPDATES, but everything else should work well in Firefox.I remember reading somewhere that there is a way to GET the Windows Updates with Fire Fox, is that legal? Quote from: Quantos on July 04, 2009, 08:51:11 AM

The only two ways I know of to do Windows Updates in Firefox are to either use the IE Tab EXTENSION, or to use WndizUpdate.  If you use IE Tab, you still need Internet Explorer, and WindizUpdate has been abandoned since 2007. [Link] Quote from: Quantos on July 04, 2009, 08:51:11 AM
