Main article: Removal of Internet Explorer
Internet Fucking Explorer has already spread to virtually every personal computer running Micro$oft Windows. Every Windows operating system released since 1995 has had the program deeply embedded in its architecture.
Some sites such as crashie.org specialize in detecting if IFE is active or not on the user's computer. No stable method of completely removing it has been found, however.
