Hi new to this, and only what you might call an experienced amateur with computers
I was wondering why when I run the cleaner it always cleans some internet explorer history when I only ever use Mozilla Firefox.
Have I got something running in the background that I don't know about??

Windows uses IE in "background", I guess, eg. with Windows Update and WLM (Windows Live Messenger or with other Windows Live Essentials programs). Probably with MS Office, also.

I've "uninstalled" IE and it still leaves traces/logs.

But you cannot install Trident which is the Guts of I.E. and unfortunately a vital part of Life Support with Windows anything.
Firefox has an I.E. addon which is a shortcut to Trident and the "benefits" of Trident and Active'X
