What exactly does that entail? Does that mean that IE simply must reside on the computer? Will I have to open IE at any time if I use avast!? What of IE does Avast! use? Why can't it use FF for example for whatever it is it needs IE for?
Exactly, you got the point.
Windows needs some parts of IE integrated into the shell.
These parts are needed from avast too (simply must reside on the computer).
Of course, no need to open IE even to update avast!
You can use and set any other browser in your system.
Wellcome to avast.
Sorry, I can't find - yet - more information on the board. I'm searching...
