If you trust the add-on, click Add. To install add-ons from the Internet Explorer Gallery, go to the website and click Add-Ons, then click the desired add-on from the list. Click Add to Internet Explorer to bring up the installation prompt and click Add. Disabling and Removing Add-Ons Some add-ons are more annoying than useful, especially if they were accidentally installed while installing a different program to your computer. Rid your IE experience of these add-ons by disabling or removing them in the Manage Add-Ons menu. To disable an add-on, click the gear-shaped Tools button in the top-right corner of the browser, followed by Manage add-ons.
Click the Show drop-down menu and select All add-ons. Select the desired add-on from the list and click Disable, followed by Close. This add-on will remain disabled until you enable it again. To remove an add-on, select Remove instead of Disable. Some add-ons are pre-installed and can't be removed, so this option may not always appear.
The Manage Add-ons dialogue also includes a link to the IE Gallery when you click Find more toolbars and extensions.
