Microsoft idiotically made Internet Explorer a vital component in manually retrieving Windows updates from the web. Uninstalling Internet Explorer may cause other problems I haven't observed.

To use the Windows update site, you have to access it using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later. 
I don't use I.E to download better browsers...I use Safari for that (although to be fair, Safari is a pretty decent browser anyway).

You are getting Internet Explorer confused with the rendering engine that runs Internet Explorer. http://www.ehow.com/how_4813013_uninstal...lorer.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927177 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957700 Personally, I get my Windows Updates via Firefox with the IE Tab 2 extension installed.
