Installation saying I need to update Internet Explorer... Can I get around this?


Hi all


I'm planning to try Bitdefender free for the first time today.  I run Win7 Pro (64 Bit).  After the installation has downloaded and reached 100%, it says "Minimum Software Requirements Not Met" and then goes on to say I need to upgrade Internet Explorer.  I'd rather not do that as I use Chrome and have no plans to ever use IE (in fact, if I had my way I would uninstall it entirely).  Is there a way around this?  Or MUST I upgrade IE to continue (in which case I think I'll look for an alternative AV)?


Many thanks
