Surprise! If you uninstall OneCare, it makes Microsoft VERY angry

I uninstalled Windows Live OneCare and to my surprise it took IE along with it! Now I have no browser (on the other computer). Is this a scheme to get people to use Firefox? Well, it worked.

I'm not sure that uninstalling One Care could cause Internet Explorer to uninstall. I suggest contacting support for assistance. How to reach support - http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/onecareinstallandactivate/thread/30400b52-7f26-4ba0-bc18-17e305329d90

I've never heard of OneCare uninstall removing IE. You might want to seek help with IE here:
