everready Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Here is a screen shot of the programs I'm running IE 8 its is on the list. Question? Can you safely remove IE 8 with the cleaner. Thanks in advance... everready Saved By Grace And Grace Alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishan_rulz Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Yes you can. Just a suggestion, don't use the Registry Cleaner IF you do not know what you are doing. CCleaner just launches the default uninstaller of the app. So it is safe. Simplicity is hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! that's excellent advice on using the cleaner, one wrong decision could be the difference between a clean computer or having a rather large door stop. It seems some people are having issues with IE 8 and wondered whether or not they could remove it, me included, I run Windows XP Pro SP2, normally add or remove would be the way to uninstall it, on my machine that isn't an option, so thanks for the heads up.. everready Saved By Grace And Grace Alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorschach112 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 You shouldn't be uninstalling IE, your PC needs it By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe. ~Scratch~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

login123 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 you can get windows updates with IE 7, if IE 8 is giving you trouble. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

ident Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Not only removing it you wont be able to get windows updates some of your third-party software, including your internet security suite, may no longer be able to download definition updates, leaving you exposed to new threats. No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 When you remove the IE version visible in "Add or Remove Programs", Windows XP reverts to the IE version that was integral to the OS installation. For Windows XP SP2, that should be IE6. You can then update to IE7 if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
