I actually want to delete Microsoft Internet Explorer but do not wish to reinstall it. I use Mozilla Firefox and have not used Internet Explorer for two years, but Internet Explorer seems to be opening itself to pepper my screen with pop-up windows warning about security. Explorer itself seems to be my security problem. Will removing it (the file says it's protected when I try to delete it) cause problems with the rest of my Windows functioning properly? If no, how can I get that program off of my computer?
Thanks!

I'd follow the steps in the article that was referenced: http://ask-leo.com/iexploreexe_has_generated_an_error_now_what.html

I tried to delete IE before i new that it was not possible to do so. I believe that it deleted some files because now when I run IE I always get the "Internet Explorer cannot display the page" page, no matter what web site I enter. I have tried the SFC, it ran all the way through and didn't give me any messages. I have tried to download IE and re-install but it tells me that the version i have is more current and it will not install. I have also tried to re-install XP altogether, still to no avail. help!

So you don't believe that this methode will work???
