How do I use internet without using Exporer?

Does anyone know whether the problem with Explorer will be OK to just ignore?

run through the steps in the thread i said about https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2436849= just to make sure there is no infection.

once you have done the steps in the above to rule out any infection or other problems run this http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/ as a starting point if you have to use IE

googler

Once you have Firefox working, use it to download latest version of Win Explorer?

Or go for a restore point as prev suggestion.

...is indicative of a possible infection. In that case, System Restore or installing another browser won't solve it. It's in your best interests to try to solve the problem.

Whether you use a different browser or not, problems with Internet Explorer should be fixed as it's possible other programs or Operating System functions may rely on it to work properly themselves.

You could have an virus that a spyware checker won't pick up
