Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / June 2008IE7 Installation
I'm getting lots of crashes with IE6 so would like to install IE7. When I went to Add/Remove Programs, I do not see MS Internet Explorer there to remove. How do I remove IE6 so that I'll have a clean, new start for IE7. Secondly, I need a site where I can read about details, cautions, etc of installing IE7. Thanks for your feedback.

I'm getting lots of crashes with IE6 so would like to install IE7. When I went to Add/Remove Programs, I do not see MS Internet Explorer there to remove. How do I remove IE6 so that I'll have a clean, new start for IE7. Secondly, I need a site where I can read about details, cautions, etc of installing IE7. First, you wouldn't need to remove IE6 first. IE7 takes care of that so that it can reinstall IE6 if you decide to uninstall IE7. However, installing IE7 will probably make your problem worse. You need to fix it first. Before installing IE7 see http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install and http://msmvps.com/blogs/spywaresucks/archive/2006/10/18/182724.aspx and http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#tips Error message when you try to install Internet Explorer 7: "Internet Explorer could not be installed" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917925 Do a thorough check for malware, following all of the steps at one of these Web pages. Help with malware: All MS-MVP Sites. http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm http://aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/darnit.html http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/Malware_Defence.htm Unexplained computer behavior may be caused by deceptive software. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827315 So How Did I Get Infected Anyway? For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus, whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you owe it to the author. See also: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=27971 Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure of. SignatureFrank Saunders MS-MVP IE,OE/WM Do not reply with email I see consistent advice from four of you not to get IE7 until I fix the problems I'm having with IE6 so I'll take the advice. I'll be back with more information regarding the crashes hoping I can get the solution to IE6's crashes and occasional lock ups. Thanks.
