Computer Question: Should I Remove Internet Explorer?

In this latest of my computer question & answer audio lessons, I’m answering a question from an email subscriber named George.

George asks: “Can you take Internet Explorer off your laptop and still use Mozilla Firefox ? I was told that you needed IE to access the Internet.”

Well, George, the short answer is that removing IE is much more complicated than removing a normal program, and doing so might cause you some problems. Fortunately, it’s not necessary to do so.
