Hello,
It is almost always better to save rather than run from a web page. This
can help with viruses if your antivirus package automatically scans all
files which have been downloaded. Whether or not your antivirus does
this, it is a good habbit to train yourself to do. The reason is because
it is too easy to click on things and infect your system when you are
not automatically practicing safe internet procedures.
As to removing installed programs, all of the same factors apply. The
only difference is that Microsoft automates the process of downloading
and starting the install procedure for you. The file is automatically
downloaded to the temporary internet files folder.

circumstances, use a "run" option from an Internet site. I may be mistaken,
but this is a good way to get a virus. Also, if I am right, you cannot
remove the installed program after doing it this way. If I'm wrong on all
this, I hope that others will courteously correct and inform me? Thanks.

Well Thomas, if Draconus' games were like Jim's, then I could download them.
When I press enter on download I get, cancel, save and run. I press run and
all I get is, "close this page when downloading is done" I press enter and
nothing happens. So, if Draconus' games were like Jim's I'd be so happy!!
That's the best I can do for explaining.
Cheers!
