There's sadly little you can do about that one troit, even with IE removed you're still subject to the OS level security flaws that make it such a bitch to cope with. If you're worried about it your best bet is to be absolutely certain that you keep up to date on all the Windows patches and to run a decent software firewall like BlackIce (the Windows firewall isn't worth the disk space it occupies, but it's another "feature" that you can't remove).
