Some do not have the luxury of yet removing IE, for example there are quite a few programs that require IE still...

Microsoft has a few workarounds, but keep in mind this is a really large group of browsers that effect everything from Win95 release 2 to Windows 7.

You could always dual boot into another OS or sandbox your IE browser while this problem is around as well. SandBoxie, etc... heck it might even be wise to permanently sandbox IE. Google sorta does with Chrome...

You don't HAVE TO remove Internet Explorer to use another browser...

Just install Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Safari and when you run it, it will ask you if you want it to be your default browser. That's it.

When the fix is available, install it. If you still think you NEED Internet Explorer as your main browser, simply run it again and it will ask you if you want it to be your default browser. That's it.

That and be web safe.
