How do I uninstall Internet Explorer? - Kyra - 04-08-2014 04:57 AM
I have Windows 8 and my Programs and Features folder doesn't show that Internet Explorer is even listed. I just had to uninstall and reinstall Google Chrome because my sister caused the browsers to catch a virus in their extensions, and honestly Internet Explorer just isn't worth keeping at all. I downloaded Chrome and Firefox to avoid ever even touching the dumb thing. Is there anything I can do?
