I don't see why it wouldn't be safe. I have both installed, however, because every once in awhile, I come across a "dinosaur" website that is only set up for IE and I can't access or use it with Firefox. However, I never open it unless I absolutely have to. It just sits dormant....taking up RAM.
If you can live without needing it occasionally, I don't think will effect anything. As long as you have a browser of some sort to use.

Got nothing to do with IE it is the way you have set it and if you keep on letting all sorts of people give you cookies and you download idiscretly nothing is stopping Viruses as for spyware just remove it also check your spyware how dangerous is it if it is benine leave it.As for Viruses get a Virus programme that stops them not let them in.Firefox will not make it better.
Take care!

You cant remove internet explorer but you can set firefox as the default browser. You will still need IE because there are some sites which will only work with IE.

IE is an integral part of Windows. It can't just be removed.
But you can set things up so that Firefox is your default browser and try as best as you can to just forget about Internet Explorer.

IE is useful at microsoft.com if you need to do manual updates. Surprise!!! that website does not work well with Firefox. There is a Firefox extension that lets you view a page as if you are usiing IE, but I have not tried it on microsoft.com - works ok on others howerver.

You cannot remove IE, only shortcuts to it. You can and should make Firefox the default browser.

I once was asking the same question to myself. In the meantime, I made the experience, that sometimes you may be glad to have both systems rready and at hand. Things are permanently changing and it is unpredictable, what kinds of attacks will hit which system more.

It's fine but IE is more compatable with different things, including music videos, but it is not a needed program.

Elisabeth R is right for IE 7, even nonetheless it will be somewhat diverse for older variations. in case you have issues of her reported answer please supply further archives Re: the version of IE which you're utilising.
