This was in another thread about XP.

I removed IE. Backwards for each version. Ended up at v.8

Put FF 29.1 on and secured it. Set up No-script, a some other things.

Went back and found out that Windows IE removal removed several Hot
fixes So, I went forward and put IE back on (not used). There were
some problems with update trying to install the fixes. At one point,
Windows Update reported there were no updates installed. I chased it
down and got it all fixed (with a beverage or two).

Point: just remove IE Icons and leave it alone. Secure your browser
experience using Firefox.

The suggestion of removing IE may work best for IT pros on a network.
However I do not recommend it for a typical user. I'm back to where I
was. No missing critical fixes, etc. FF works on IE related sites with
the IE Tab v.2 add on.

So. Use Firefox (or choice) but leave IE on your system. I don't know
how this works in Europe where you choose your own browser at install.

Update is back and all things work.

2 cents....

Hi,
I keep IE up-to-date but I never use it. FF does not have all needed
add-ons. then I use IE.
