Windows 8.1

The European Union ordered Microsoft to include a program in the Windows OS sold in Europe. This program makes a pop up  to invite PC users to use browsers different than Internet explorer.

This is not a malware or adware issue.

This obligation has expired.

The main program is in C:Windows/system32 directory

While the obligation was in force, it was believed that deleting the file would cause problems with future windows updates.

Is t safe to delete the program now?

The most reassuring would be to get a reply from Microsoft staff clearly saying whether deleting all the "browser choice" files would not cause any problems including for future updates etc, or even that an uninstaller has been prepared for this case.

Kindly go through the workarounds as suggested in the following thread of discussions:
