2012-02-01T01:55:00+06:00

DON’T do it from “Control Panel”>>“Programs”>>“Turn Windows Features on or off”.
That will cause more trouble. Yes, looking at you, Microsoft.

Here’s how to do it cleanly.

Go to START → “Control panel” → “View installed updates”,
Now scroll down the list, look for Windows Internet Explorer 9 in Microsoft Windows section,
Double-click to Uninstall it,
After finishing, it’s better if you restart immediately,
Your previous IE 8 will be restored,
If you can’t find IE 8 yet by typing “Internet” in the START >> “Search for programs and files”, download IE 8 from here.
However, don’t forget to select right language and right OS version. Install the downloaded file as usual.

However, I highly recommend, as your day-to-day browser, and as a truly faster, secure and reliable Internet browser, consider using Google Chrome or Firefox browser (To get now, click here)
