hiding it? pardon my Internet Explorer stupidity but why hide it when you can just uninstall it

:tup: Alternatives are key. I just was really unsure if actually hiding it in IE would actually get rid of it. Then I thought about it, but maybe he wants the pop up blocking ability…

he also said that he tried to uninstall but it wont actually remove.

if you’re using internet explorer try this

under tools -----\> internet options ----\> click on the advanced tab ----\> scroll down and un-check the box that says 'enable third party browser extentions(requires restart) – click apply — ok — restart!
