Assuming you were making the joke that Internet Explorer is as good as spyware, there are several ways to eliminate it. First, try right-clicking "my computer" - properties - "System Restore" tab - check "Turn off system restore on all drives" and press OK.\nNow, navigate to "C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Internet Explorer" and delete everything in that folder (make sure you don't currently have internet explorer windows open, and make sure you have some other way to access the internet, such as Mozilla Firefox).\nWait a few seconds, if you start noticing the files popping back up, then you're going to need to do something clever that I found out how to do on my own.. Navigate to C:&#92;Windows&#92;System32&#92; and find a file called mstinit.exe ...if you run it you'll notice it doesn't do anything and it doesn't stay running, nor does it take up system resources. You should copy this file onto your desktop and rename it to iexplore.exe (or just iexplore if your file extensions are hidden (if you can't see the .exe at the end of the mstinit then file extensions are hidden and just name the file iexplore))\nNow, right click the newly renamed file and click copy, and then go back to C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Internet Explorer ..quickly delete the iexplore.exe in that directory and click paste (this must be done very quickly)\n\nI tried replacing iexplore with my own program that just automatically terminated, but windows would overwrite it with the original iexplore every time, until I realized that it looks at more than the file name, but doesn't go so far as to check the program's content. So I found a program that was included with windows that would automatically terminate if no arguments were provided, and that had a valid Microsoft program signature. The system restore checks look at the new iexplore.exe (formerly mstinit.exe), check for a microsoft signature, and then leave it alone. Now every time you click on a link to open internet explorer, mstinit will run and terminate, just as though you had uninstalled the microsoft beast.\n\nThere IS one drawback to this. This method only deletes the Internet Explorer shell, not the inner dlls and system workings. AKA you can still type a url into the address bar of a normal folder, and it will display the website using IE's protocols.\n\n\n\nMy apologies if this answer had nothing to do with the question at hand. If you truly are looking for a way to get rid of spyware, go to www.download.com and search for Spybot Search and Destroy\n\n[edit] PS, you should re-enable system restore after all that is done, it's a handy fallback [/edit]

Don't use Internet Explorer. \n\nUse Spybot Search & Destroy, and also Adaware. They will help get rid of spyware, adware, other malicious programs you don't want. \n\nUse Firefox for safer browsing. You won't get popups, or spyware.

Due to Internet Explorer being integrated with Windows, you may need to restart your computer to fully uninstall Yahoo! Toolbar. \n\nIf you like the functionality of Yahoo!

You have gotten a spyware on your computer that is changing your homepage each time you open IE. Changing your homepage settings manually wont work, so you will have to get rid of it through an antispyware program. Here are the steps to removing a spyware effectively.\n\n1. Many people think running the spyware program helps. However you need to first stop it from booting up. To do this, type "MSCONFIG" in RUN and in the last tab called "Startup", uncheck the program that resembles "Great search results".\n\n2. Now you will need to eliminate the current running spyware. Use CTRL-ALT-Delete to end the process tree for that spyware program.\n\n3. NOW you run a Spyware Program. You can either get Spybot Search and Destroy or Adaware SE (both are free), or better yet, get both of them just in case one program doesnt catch a key or two. Both programs can be downloaded and read more about at www.pcworld.com/52516\n\n4. Run the spyware program, and finally set your Homepage to your original. Restart your Pc and the malware should be gone.

It sounds like you might be in Kiosk mode with the Hide Toolbars option selected.  When Internet explorer is focused, press the F-11 key to get out of Kiosk mode.

Very likely a problem with your browser. Try uninstalling it and re-installing it.  With most browsers, you should be able to do this from add/remove programs in control panel.  In the case of MS internet explorer, when you got to add/remove programs, click the add/remove windows components tab. Then uncheck IE, click ok. Restart, go to same place and recheck IE, click OK.\n\ngood luck

if you have xp, you already have internet explorer, it is a part of it, you can't get rid of it. it is just probably that you have mozilla as the default browser. find the shortcut to internet explorer on your start menu, open it, and reset the settings to default, it will ask you to make it the default browser, just say yes

Hmm..\n\nDo you have a pop-up stopper installed on your system?\n\nIf that's your problem, try some of this advice: (I didn't write this, but the advice is generally accurate)\n\n"Some Versions of Internet Explorer have built in Pop-up stoppers. You may be able to get past them by holding down the control button and clicking Continue. If this doesn't work go to Tools in the Menu in the upper left hand corner of your window, where File, Edit, View, etc. are located. Pull down to Internet Options. Uncheck the option to "Block pop-ups" or just go to Tools, Pop-up Blocker, Turn Off Pop-up Blocker. \n\nIf the above doesn't work, look at your systray near the Windows clock in the lower right corner of the screen. You may see a little icon representing the blocker. Common ones resemble a red Stop sign, the palm of a hand, or an orange fist. Click on the icon and see if there is an option to disable it."\n\nIn general, I would not recommend disabling pop-up blocking software, and I can only wonder what site you're trying to visit that would require you to do so in order to view it.
