I discovered today that it can indeed be uninstalled if your not afraid of the registry. Although MS has issued a patch that supposedly removes the vulnerability,and Firefox is supposed to have consented to remove it from their blocklist, I don't want the thing on my PC. Here are two pages, one MS itself, on how to remove the plugin. I prefer the anoyances version since they don't use the commandline to open Windows Explorer and MS seems to want to diswade people from removing it by being vague in their instructions.
