Internet Explorer, or IE is the most used web browser today to surf the Internet. Internet Explorer is also the most vulnerable browser today. Though a lot of Microsoft critics say it is not programmed properly, having a lot of security holes and vulnerabilities, it is more or less, a big target for hackers and other cyber criminals.
Since it is quite risky to use IE when surfing the Internet, you may wonder why not get rid of it and use a different one. Well, to answer that, it is impossible to completely remove all traces of Internet Explorer from your computer. IE is tightly integrated with the operating system that when if it is completely removed, it will result to a crippled system, a highly unstable one.
Steps to remove the Internet Explorer
- Visit Mozilla Firefox's Website
- Click the download link and wait for it to complete
- Double-click the downloaded file and follow the instructions.
- A small screen will ask you if you want to import your Internet Explorer bookmarks.
- Firefox will launch after a few seconds and will warn you that it is not the default browser.
- Set it as default so that every time you click a link, Firefox will open, not Internet Explorer.
