What ever floats your boat, but for the majority it is the fact, the Windows attempt to control and through their browser, IE, they do do that. I have tried to seriously get rid of IE all together, but it finds a way of comeing back. Just when I would delete the darn program it would rewrite itself and still pop up when I don't want it, it pops up. I even tried to use the forceful browser, with security set on high, as high as ALL settings would go. And it still attracted a virus!!!!!!! So i just ingore the pest, and use the alternatives that are, here is the key word, Stand alones! They are not associated with any one OS, and I am talking about the 3, Mozilla, Firefox and Opera. If Windows made IE a stand alone browser, I don't think the problems would be so severe. And at least if u used it, it might not take over your comp.
