Because you touch yourself at night.

Because BF know you touch yourself at night and thinks about it constantly whilst sitting in his computer without any pants.

Al Gore invented the internet ✅

I use AOL. I just saw it lying there on the desktop and thought why is it an E.

Now I've just clocked it.

That's what I'm talking about 😛 It's not as quick as IE

Plus it keeps opening up new tabs if I accidentally hit a link

And in IE if you accidentally click a link you open up a whole new window...which is utterly annoying.

If I deleted IE completely would the pop ups which I get when I open a new page go?

Are they your run of the mill pop-ups that some sites have...or do you get pop-ups on every page you go to?

I get them on almost every page I open. It seems to be triggered by word on the page.

Then you need to remove that adware. 😐 Then switch to Firefox.

Oh and on a sidenote, you can not remove IE from Windows...it's impossible.

Seriously...

Something like litepc.com or lightpc.com gets rid of IE.

Or just do it my way.

Fiddle about in System 32 and after a few tries and a few reformats w00t No more IE.

is it REALLY worth it? 😛

i thought it was E for electronic, as in e-mail?

No. 😛 Because there are some sites that aren't best viewed in Firefox, so I use IE for those.

No. A man gets lonely...

Plus, a lot of Anti-Spyware/AdWare programs need it to update.
