Can I remove internet explore and use chrome instead?

Can I remove internet explore and use chrome instead? That is, crashes, to stop, resarts and slows my computor. I installed Google Chrome and have had no more problems. It opens and closes when I want it and going to the Web pages as I type in without hesitation. I like windows 7, I only have a problem with Internet Explore. It also caused changes in my modem. I need to uninstall the software and reinstall to get it working again. IO would open that is and get a message that says "no internet access - check your settings, I thought it was a virus at some point. As soon as I started using Chrome, everything worked again. That is also caused problems with my printer and home network. I don't mind that is being stored in a file, I don't want to work and make changes to my computer I'm not an it expert by any means. I restored my pc to an earlier time and new conditions of factory several times in the past year (I bought the HP pc new in December 2010).

It is not really a way to remove Internet Explorer.  I have not heard of the type of problems, you had with IE, but if you prefer Chrome and who works for you, all you need to do is to make Chrome the default browser.  I use Firefox and make it my default browser.  Once you make Chrome default you just leave Internet Explorer installed but it won't get used.  Following comes the site help Chrome and tells how to do it by default: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95417

    Firefox? No, really, the browsers are largely subjective. Many people swear by Chrome, but
    many people swear to the Chrome. Even with IE and Firefox, but I have used Firefox for
    about nine years.

    Other considerations are your internet connection stability and speed.
    Try to run the speed Test (type this name in your search engine) to check if you have found
    good speeds. This after the browser is de-energized as long as you are connected to the internet server
    can slow down during peak periods.
    For example, my broadband speed will reach 20 + but will drop to less than 5 between
    6-8 PM on occasion. It is always a high speed and wasn't about to give up, just an example of
    how a connection can vary.

I changed my anti-virus programs about 3 times from mcafee to kaspersky AVG 9.0 full... and it still freezes on me. Now it has been 2 weeks since I uninstalled avg 9.0 and now it has started to freeze up to my internet explore and chrome whenever I go on youtube or facebook. Also for some reasion strange she also made some of my programs like pinnacle 14 studios, itunes and Windows media player does not. Currently I got the flash from my computer. And I have to use my ipad for videos youtube... but I always consult flash. I heard that this has passed many people on mulitple o.s., Please help. I tried to reinstall and he wrote this instalation failed evertime. Ive also tried to reinstall my os without success. I ve tried reseting my browsers and resettlement... without success.

  • Removed Internet Explorer and assigns them to hyperlinks in Excel

    Hello

    After becoming tired of the software change my PC settings without my permission, I decided to separate my work from the internet machine and only use the programs I need.  I updated to windows 7 and then a bit of a spring clean.  I uninstalled google, all my pieces of virus and deleted Internet Explorer.

    When I opened Excel, I was prevented from using the Lien_hypertexte function.

    I did some research and the problem was take remove me IE and the solution was to reinstall IE and put the default value of the browser.

    I went to the Microsoft site and downloaded IE11 and installed.  Unfortunately, I downloaded the bad IE11 (I needed the Service Pack 1 version, but I installed it).  When I try to install correct IE, tells me the version I have is older and cannot be installed.  I tried to uninstall the latest IE, but it is not visible in my control panel.

    How can I fix my system please. I need to remove the last IE so that I can load the correct IE.

    Concerning

    Press Windows key + R

    Type: optionalfeatures.exe

    Press enter

    Check Internet Explorer, if it is not checked

    Click OK

    Restart if prompted.

  • I can not get internet explore and Microsoft word to stop the launch at startup.

    I looked at through these programs and autorun boot are not listed.  I checked the configuration and that they are not and I checked AVG and they do not appear as startup items.  They are not in my Start menu.  How can I get these programs STOP opening on startup?  I don't even use internet Explorer - I simply downloaded it once and now it keeps opening.  I used Word once of many weeks ago, and now it opens each time.  How can I stop this from happening?

    Hello Sarah133,

    In addition to the information that Amara has provided, please look at the suggestions below.

    You can check the boot in a few places by using MSCONFIG.
    ·       Click Start on your desktop
    ·       Type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
    ·       Go to the Startup tab. There are options to enable all or disable all or you can uncheck a particular program.
    Check if WinWord is set to run at startup, if so, then uncheck the box.
    Now, restart the computer and see if the word appears at the start of your computer.

    You can also check the registry to see if it is set to run at startup.
    Go to the Start button.
    In the start search, type Regedit.

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. Please make a backup of ther registry before making any changes. Or you can create a system restore point.

    Now, you place the following keys.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

    Hkey_current_user\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\run
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce

    If the word is in the list, then delete this registry entry only.

    If please reply back and let us know if this helps with your question.

  • I get an error indicating that the "Virus scan failed" when you download Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

    Original title: Virus Scan failed

    Cannot download anything with IE8 or Chrome.  Constantly get "Virus Scan impossible" or "" *. "" * "contained a virus and was deleted. »

    Changed the setting to the "browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone" in Firefox to "faslse" and I'll have no problem with him (using Norton 360 v. 20.3.1.22 on Windows Vista.

    This suggests my protection Microsoft antiviruss files have been removed or disabled (possibly through the last installation of Norton.  My question, if this is true, why I get "Virus Scan failed" every time I try to download with IE 8, but not with Firefox?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    "This suggests my protection Microsoft antiviruss files have been removed or disabled."

    Do you have MSE installed or you are using any other other than Norton 360 AV?

    If so, uninstall it, you must have AN AV installed.

    With the Windows Firewall settings, Norton 360 uses its OWN firewall.

    http://KB.Linksys.com/Linksys/GetArticle.aspx?docid=5611fc67a247495bbdcef8b9d4018842_Norton_360_Firewall_Configuration.XML

    You should not have more than one firewall running.

    Choose Windows or norton, NOT both.

    Read about Defender:

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

    http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

    And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

    "How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"

    http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html

    Or the program Autoruns for FREE:

    "V11.21 Autoruns for Windows"
