hello, i've done some research about internet explorer, and now i know the risks 
associated with it on my comp. my question is, can i uninstall the browser? does 
internet explorer come with an uninstaller, or could i download a remover utility. 
and what if i delete it's folder in programfiles, and other extensions/files, will 
this work?  

cheers in advance!

Simply configure your software firewall to block it. |my question is, can i uninstall the browser? | You are confusing wisdom with fanaticism. (I have been there.) This is called "cutting off your nose to spite your face". The M$ HTML rendering engine is part of IE and is used by several (poorly crafted) apps. http://www.google.com/search?q=Trident+rendering.engine You will likely come to miss it at the most inopportune time. |does internet explorer come with an uninstaller ? | Nope. Its components are tightly wrapped around the entrails of Windoze. |or could i download a remover utility. | If you are bound and determined. See "spite your face" (above). http://www.google.com/search?q=site:annoyances.org+IEradicator |what if i delete [its] folder in programfiles, and other extensions/files ? | See "tightly wrapped" (above).
