Lightbulb Cleansing Yourself Of The Devil
While looking at alternative browserss I did a search query involving the true uninstallation of IE, and I found this little gem. It apparently only removes 3.0 and up(since Avant still works, im using FireFox), but still. Unique in the way that KillTheMessenger is unique, but more useful. It's called IEradicator.

Good point as you do need IE for Windows Update and for some websites that only support IE. I can't see removing IE totally but I do see using another browser and only use IE when needed.

I hate this thieve's IE browser BUT netscape ain't 'worth-a-hoot!'

Overall I like IE better, BUT it belongs 'to the devil!'

... and Opera.

Much better than Netscape, and can identify itself as several other browsers, including IE -- with just two keystrokes. Same with cookie and pop-up control.

I tried FireFox (Mozila/Netscape?).

Unintalled it almost immediately. --SAME as Netscape.

Doesn't 'the thief' have any competition?
