Guest Summercool Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 on both Win XP and Vista, sometimes I install some software and then all of a sudden, my IE will invoke a weird download plug in. So now, when I download other stuff, like a zip file, that annoying download program will pop up, and usually eat up a lot of resource. I tried go to Tools -> Manage Add-ons and then disabled a bunch of unknown or unwanted add-ons, but IE is still behaving the same way. Is there a method to remove the downloading app? (without uninstalling my other programs... as till now, which program caused it, i can't remember)

You don't.
