Regain Control of Your Computer! "A Godsend If you wish to avoid spyware infestations, or need to fix Internet Explorer after a bout with spyware." This CD contains an auto-launching menu with programs to completely remove and replace Internet Explorer and on windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, or Windows 2000(sr1). This allows using a more secure browser such as Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, or Firefox, then you can bask in the inner glow of knowing you just secured your PC from all known and unknown, past and future, IE security bugs while claiming back 30+MB of hard drive space. Alternately it can be used completely remove Internet Explorer so you can cleanly install whatever version you prefer. Excellent for taking care of issues where you have a corrupt installation and neither the repair or revert function work. We even include Internet Explorer 5.5sp2 (works on all versions of Windows 95 - 2000). Software contents: IEradicator is a tiny, script that uses the Windows setup engine to surgically remove Internet Explorer versions 3 through 6.0 from Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium and Windows 2000(sr1). The removal process is elegant with all COM servers politely being asked to de-register themselves from the system registry using their inbuilt deinstallation routines before being eliminated from the hard disk. IEradicator then pulls out the cleaning gear and gives the registry a good polish before returning control back to you. The MS HTML Engine (shdocvw.dll and mshtml.dll) is left on the machine to provide needed functionality for other applications that render HMTL (e.g. Outlook Express) or that launch a mini-browsing window (e.g. Winamp's Mini Browser, Netmeeting's Online Directory). IEradicator now contains two versions. One version keeps all the web view shell integration intact, and the other takes all of that out for a lean and fast desktop environment. Netscape 7.2 - In addition to high-speed browsing and instant-messaging capabilities, Netscape features one-click searching from the address bar; Quick Launch, which reduces the browser start-up time; Click-to-Search, which allows users to select a word within a Web page and search; improved instant messaging, including support for buddy icons, file transfers, and buddy alerts; and tabbed browsing, which allows users to view multiple Web pages in a single browser window.
