If you want it on your other PC just go to www.microsoft.com/uk/IE8 |
Closed software (bad) = IE8
Open source software (good) = others
Heres one, IE 8 is a like bucket of spanners in a fish & chip shop - useless in another form words - buggy, security nightmare, patchy with secure updates , spammer best friend = sh*tty browser out right !
Avoid at ALL costs!
Best to use a non Microsh*t based browser like Firefox, opera (hint: very secure) chrome etc & same for your email programme too.
The only reason that IE 8 works so well, as it's written for poor coded web sites (theirs a lot) not high-grade like Firefox etc are written in mind. As is IE8 it's self poorly constructed/written to make sure you can surf any web site be it infected or just poorly written/coded. So ask yourself why put yourself at risk at every time you surf the web or do internet banking.
Last but not least never ever do internet banking with IE8 at all, if you do kiss your money good-bye!
