in [Windows Update]

From: barrowhill on 23 Feb 2010 16:13 Today, an update was applied that on opening IE onstartup gives me the option to install numerous other browsers. I don't want to as already installed those I want and I cannot find anyway to stop this page opening again. Help.....I'd like to remove this update or switch off browser choice screen but suspect that EU forced this issue on all of us. What can I do ???????
