Remove/ReInstall IE6

[scott]

Does anyone have a link detailing how to completely remove IE6 from Win XP
w/service pack 2? I rely on MSN Money portfolio and it crashes on my laptop
and constantly refreshes on my workstation.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a hijackware problem, in which case reinstalling IE won't make a
bit of difference.

msn portfolio is the only site not working right. do you still think a
reinstall wouldn't help?

A reinstall of MS(N) Money might help but I doubt a reinstall of IE would.

Have you run a thorough check for hijackware?

Not yet, but will do. One reason I think it's msn corruption is that if i
delete all temp files and run portfolio, it works fine. but the next time i
open portfolio, it refreshes constantly.

Sounds like either an MS(N) Money or hijackware/Trojan problem to me, Scott.
In neither case will reinstalling IE have any affect on it.
