No...as I said, you can disable it by unchecking it where you did, but, you
cannot uninstall it. And deleting any IE files would cause damage to your
system. When you stated that you had tried to remove and re-add IE, it
sounded as if you had tried to uninstall it. If that is not the case then I
misunderstood your statement.

Yes. New computers normally come with at least a Recovery CD, and perhaps
yours did as well, which you may be able to use to recover your system if
necessary, if it did not come with the OS CD.

If you have any 3rd party toolbars, such as Google or Yahoo toolbar disable
them. If you have Yahoo Companion, it is know to cause some problem and you
should uninstall it for now. Reset your Internet Security to Medium.
Disable your AV and Firewall and see if that helps.
The MSN, Hotmail, Yahoo and .NET Passport should be treated the same as
Secure
sites. Try the following and see if it helps:

also..
Check your C:\Windows\Hosts file as per this article:

Also, try adding those sites to your IE Trusted Zone.

Click Sites.
Enter each of the following sites and click Always Allow:

Go to the Windows update site and have it scan for any missing critical
