IEradicator 6 ~ free
http://www.angelfire.com/ns2/glentech/byeie.htm
NOT for Windows 2000sr2 or Windows XP
IEradicator 6 disintegrates all versions of Internet Explorer from v3 to
v6b1 from an existing installation of Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98SE,
and Windows Millennium. The removal process eliminates 99% of Internet
Explorer's files and registry keys to clear approximately 30MB or more of
disk space. The remaining 1% is left behind to maintain compatibility with
programs that use the MS HTML layout engine (e.g. Outlook Express). 
This version is more agressive in cleaning up IE than 2001 is if you really
want to clean up your system use this version.

Antivirus software is a good choice to scan your system for possible viruses, 
however no virus scanner is 100% effective as manufactures cannot keep up with 
the rapid change of viruses that happens daily.
Be sure to update yours regularly.

deadlines and information that is very important to readers we accidentally 
misspost an item.

If you believe something to be miscredited, or you know the author of one of 
the articles which we have posted as 'unknown', please do let us know so we can
