Uninstalling it in unnecessary, besides, some web pages are fucked on mozilla.


But for the most part Firefox > IE

yep, i have them both running at the same time. Some stuff only work in IE so keep it on your HardDrive

[Merlin122]

oh crap that happened to me, the next thing i got was the "WTools" virus

[Himmler]

you get pop ups because you dont have programs that protect your computer, your going to get pop ups even without ie. get the yahoo toolbar, or the google tool bar. and get adaware 1.05 se and it will solve all your problems.

Ive never had pop-ups...

[Himmler]

pop ups = spyware. ie isnt the cause of spyware.

[Merlin122]

i know. but everytime i run spybot, adaware, etc it refuses to delete one thing and it wont catch it again. but i think the toolbar helped.

[Himmler]

ok, try hijackthis.

it will remove a lot of stuff that some programs dont see. but be careful what you remove, it will say to remove programs u wanna keep.

IE > all
