Interesting...although, as was pointed out, switching browsers could expose one to other risks.
I use IE for Windows Updates...that's it. Firefox and Google Chrome are my babies!

Why? I use Firefox, and I get Windows Updates without ever using IE.Originally Posted by Catty1

I use Firefox too. Your update notifications come from Microsoft. If you want to check for updates, only IE will go to the site and search.
That's what I meant.

I had no idea! I've often thought I should just delete IE, since I don't use it.
Thanks!

LOL - TRY and delete IE! You may go back to version 6 or earlier (!!!!) but it will never leave...lol.

With XP and earlier WOS IE is part of the OS, I thought with Vista and 7 IE could be completely removed. I never kept vista long enough to try. Im pretty sure I stripped IE off of one of my 7 install disks, if I had a 4th comp Ild try it out.

I think I used VLite to strip IE completely from the install disc. Ill try and do an uninstall on my 7 machine and report back.
ETA: 7 lets you disable IE but not remove it. If I cant sleep tonight or get bored tomorrow Ill try and strip it off of the install image.
