text: iesearch.exe? is it safe to delete iesearch.exe? it might be called lesearch.exe, but i can't tell if it's a capital i or a lower case l. my anti-virus quarantined it, but i don't want to delete it if it is necessary for my computer's operations. if your antivirous has qurantined it and you have no problem with your browser then you can delete it. but keep a copy in your floppy in case....  its called iesearch.exe and some spywares install it on your computer to take you on some other sites when you serach something in your browser.
