Hi everyone
I Ask this question after I read thread on an Italian forum.
A guy had I.E. Infected (, and it seems still infected because sometime pop ups appear with all browsers. Every try to remove this kind of adware seems failed.. I won't talk about that here ) and it is not the browser he usually uses
I read that a malicious sw need IE to infect all browsers ( if you think it is not right please tell me, but even if it was not correct , I am still interested in this question )
So I wonder ...
If you never use IE, is it not better to deactivate it ? ( as you know it can't be uninstalled like other sw using control panel ).
And this would prevent malwares to infect IE?
I mean every sw is potentially something that a malware can attack. So why keep IE?
Looking forward to hearing from you !
