Moderators Nergal Posted May 31, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 31, 2010 Many programs use the Internet explorer as a integrated part of their operation. You can usually figure out what apps your are using that are doing this by looking at the results of the iexplore cache. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Anomaly Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 now if you delete it,you're prone to security threats,, that's the reason microsoft always patch it. What threats would you be prone to by uninstalling IE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethec Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 You can only uninstall Internet Explorer, not the IE core (a.k.a. Trident) itself. As Nergal said, lots of programs use it, to do things like read their help. Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishan_rulz Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Many people don't use IE, but it is almost essential to have IE installed just in case. Simplicity is hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwillener Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 You may be using IE-Tab on Firefox? I deleted explorer from pc, can I tell from looking at the results of the CC scan ? thanks for the reply.. Right-click on the IE results, then you can see the details of what exactly has been deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 or is that your system goes back to IE6... again..you'll need to patch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethec Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Aqua has a point - if you're using XP, IE is tightly integrated so if you "remove" it it will go back to the slow, old, buggy, and insecure IE6. Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have windows 7,as far as I can see explorer is gone.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
