Also a Google search for:
how to uninstall Internet Explorer 7 in Windows XP

Brings up that and more...


As for installing Internet Explorer 7... I suggest HIGHLY you download the
installation file BEFORE you uninstall and save it someplace safe.
Sometimes uninstalling IE7 on WIndows XP can have some weird effects.

Why not run windows malicous software utility,and/or windows defender,its
the only reason they were created to do just that,remove adware/malware,un-
installing IE7 doesnt help...

Open Add\Remove Programs in control panel. Scroll down to Windows Internet
Explorer 7, remove-uninstall it. You will be prompted to re-boot. Then install
Internet Explorer 7 again (make sure you have the package).

While in the state of "not having IE installed", you always have it intrenched in
the system. Clean your system up of mal-ware. Using Ad-Aware 1.06 (more light
weight than the newer one), Spy-Bot S&D, and Spyware Blaster (immunisation).

Re-install IE 7, hope this works for you.
