Browser Choice

[Davit2005]

Anyone found a way to get rid of this rubbish if accidently installed.

 

I am trying to do too many things at once and this is the second time I've forgotten and just hit the update button without unchecking the Bill Gates EU Browser choice annoyance

If you run it and select IE and the one you wish to install, it says IE is already installed and quite happily goes on its merry way

I have the vbs listed there , This worked in my last work place where we had local profiles.

It is a complete annoyance and causes lots of users to phone helpdesk thinking they have some sort of Virus/Malware. I know Microsoft had to do this to satisfy EU, but they could of made a more convincing attempt.

Sad thing is, it's the non IE companies/users who kicked up the fuss that resulted in MS bringing that out
