Version: Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1
"Insecure Explorer"
Pros: Can use to download information from Windows Update. Thanks to monopolizing the web, some pages will only display in IE. Easy to use because there are no good features.
Cons: Horribly slow. No tabs. No skins, unless you download Hotbar, and expose your computer to spyware (when you aren't exposing it enough by running the browser anyway). No pop-up blocking unless you download third-party toolbars with it integrated, and that means more spyware. Get Firefox or Opera instead.

Twi_prime...wait a second, sorry, you said that you deleted IE totally, not just the service pack. So this download will only upgrade IE, not replace it. Go to the Microsoft webpage to download IE again if what I said before does not work.

What Operating System do you have? I know that if you have Windows XP, then if you go under the Control Panel, and Add/Remove Windows Components, then check the box next to Internet Explorer, then finish the wizard, and restart, that should re-install it. (If the box is still checked, then unckeck it, finish the wizard, restart, then go back and recheck it, and restart.) If not, then yes, this download will replace it on your computer. I hope this helps you out. Good luck!

Hi, I hope this isn't an inappropriate post, but you sound knowledgeable about this, although you sound like you despise IE. :) I know you're not alone in that, but here's my question: If I have inadvertantly deleted my IE while trying to kill spyware, is this download sufficient to replace it? Or does the program already have to be on my system to build on? Thanks for your time. Kathy
