It reboots into a full screen *Setup* when you install the SECURITY update for
Windoze 7. It tries to trick you into making it your default browser.
And it installs the icon on your task bar. Fait Accompli!
Tell me what that has to do with the SECURITY of my Operating System?
It's Internet Exploder vs Netscape all over again; Micro$oft using its monopoly
power over the desktop to extend its monopoly and acquire monopoly control over
the internet.

According to what I found on the internet, if you're running Windows 10 it
cannot be removed.
It might install it, but that doesn't mean it gets set as your default browser.
Of course if you're dumb enough to click on the button they offer when they're
telling you about the wonderful new options you can get by using their browser
I assume it will go right ahead and do that, but I can't be certain about that,
because I declined to click on that button. I still have my default browser of
choice. I'm sure some other Microsoft software will insist on opening up Edge
if I ask it to display a web page, but so far I haven't run into that - those
Microsoft Apps I use most (Visual Studio and Excel/Word) still open up my way.
