How to Remove Add-ons from Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer is a widely used web browser, but it often comes with a variety of add-ons that can affect its performance and security. If you find that your browser is running slowly or experiencing other issues, it may be time to remove unnecessary add-ons. In this article, we will guide you through the process of how to remove add-ons from Internet Explorer.
Firstly, you need to open Internet Explorer. Once the browser is open, click on the gear icon located in the upper-right corner of the window. This will open the Tools menu.
Next, select “Manage Add-ons” from the Tools menu. This will open the Manage Add-ons window, where you can view and manage all the add-ons installed on your browser.
In the Manage Add-ons window, you will see different categories of add-ons, such as “Browser Helper Objects (BHOs),” “Toolbars and Extensions,” “Search Providers,” and “Tracking Protection.” To remove an add-on, simply click on the category you want to manage and then click on the add-on you wish to remove.
Once you have selected an add-on, you will see two options: “Disable” and “Remove.” Disabling an add-on will prevent it from running, but it will still be installed on your computer. If you want to completely remove the add-on, click on “Remove.” You will be prompted to confirm your choice. Click “Yes” to proceed.
After you have removed the add-on, it should no longer be affecting your browser’s performance. However, if you encounter any issues after removing an add-on, you can always enable it again by following the same steps.
It is important to regularly review and remove unnecessary add-ons from your Internet Explorer browser to ensure optimal performance and security. By following these simple steps, you can easily manage your add-ons and keep your browser running smoothly.
