In all my stupid spyware adventures, I want to wipe out IE and simply reinstall it.



I went to "Add/Remove Hardware" and there's a "Reinstall" or something, for IE but I still had the same history, favorites, plug-ins etc.



I want to wipe it out and get a fresh start. Should I delete everything IE related? How do I download/get back IE 6 when I finish?



Thanks for any help.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

Um..... just take your HDD out and swipe a magnet in a circle, then pull straight away 24". this should do a 'clean removal'.

Just ditch IE all together. Use Opera or FireFox.



You can't really uninstall IE because it's fundamentally attached to the Windows Explorer.

Firefox is the way to go.



EDIT: That's just my $0.02 lol.

FireFox = winnnnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaarrrrrrr!



IE = teh gheyest



Never tried Opera, but if it's not IE then it has to be https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

I downloaded the trial version of Opera (has banners) after I heard about M$ paying them off and stuff.



I like it a lot. I like Apple's Safari too...I'll have to try FireFox.

i like opera so much i bought it.

OHMYGODTHATSUNHEARDOF!

Got screenshots of how these browsers "look"?



I am using Mozilla now, it has an "updated" skin look which is nice, but the logo (WTF? A dinosaur?) is very lame.



Plus now I have to reinstall all sorts of plug ins (do I just say I am using Netscape or something?)



Blah, soon enough I'll be buying more Ram, a nice Sound card, and a new Video Card for HL2 and I'll probably re-format my PC then.
