However you may need help to uninstall Microsoft’s latest browser, as the process is not as clear as you might think. Here’s a short guide on how to remove Internet Explorer 9 from your system and move on to another browser.<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Click the Start<\/strong> button, go to the Control Panel<\/strong> and select Uninstall a program<\/strong> (if you have the settings sorted by Category) or Programs and Features<\/strong> if you have the Icon view.<\/p>\n
