Actually, this is a little different. This is something like you
own a Ford and the service department for Chevrolet came in to your
car in the middle of the night and snuck in a defective Chevrolet
fuel pump into your Ford - and welded it in and then rigged it so
that if you use force to uninstall the pump your car may burn up.
So when Chevrolet offers to remove the part for you, you definitely
want to let them do it.

You should install this update whether or not you currently use
FireFox. Otherwise, if you ever do use FireFox (and you should be
using it instead of IE anything) then you will still have the
dangerous add-on that Microsoft snuck onto your PC and is now lying
in wait for when you do install FireFox. The only way to remove it
safely is to use this patch so the uninstall button becomes
available.

Definitely install this patch. And definitely uninstall any
Microsoft add-ons to FireFox. Afterall, that's why we use FireFox
- because it's not Microsoft. Now Microsoft has hijacked it to
inject security flaws from IE into FireFox.

Actually - it's more like someone tagged your car (spray painted their logo
on it). You can clean it up with a little effort and it really doesn't
affect the performance of the vehicle - but it is annoying and you'd like it
not to be there.
