1196794	2011-04-25 01:22:00	Hi, All. Every day, or so, I get a persistent pop-up wanting me to download IE 8. I'm happy with what I've got. It does not have a 'go away for ever' button; just a 'cancel' and 'remind me later' buttons. Is there a way of permanently getting rid of the pop-up? Cheers	A Team (13613)
1196795	2011-04-25 01:25:00	Where is it appearing? In IE or what?	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1196796	2011-04-25 01:30:00	Hi, Speedy. Yes, within IE on opening. IE is the default browser. Pop-Up blocker is on (but I guess that doesn't apply to those initiated by MS,themselves). Cheers.	A Team (13613)
1196797	2011-04-25 01:34:00	So what version of IE is installed? 6 or 7? Cant say I've seen this come up in IE before	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1196798	2011-04-25 01:36:00	Not sure. Looks like 8. How can I tell?	A Team (13613)
1196799	2011-04-25 01:37:00	Relevant file names have '7' in them, so i guess it's 7. Cheers.	A Team (13613)
1196800	2011-04-25 01:42:00	Look under help / about. I doubt its 8, or it wouldnt be asking / nagging you. Or use another browser	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1196801	2011-04-25 01:51:00	Not sure. Looks like 8. How can I tell? Help/About will give the version no. I would update to 8 for security reasons, alone. And if you are using Vista SP2 or win 7 I would update to IE9! But, your choice, obviously.	linw (53)
1196802	2011-04-25 02:12:00	As linw posted, its better for security reasons. it will be coming through Via Windows update ( normally) you can disable it by doing a reg hack, or even try This blocker (www.microsoft.com) from MS.	wainuitech (129)
1196803	2011-04-25 04:19:00	Thanks, All. It is actually IE8 that I have already, but the pop-up keeps on coming. Whereto from here? Cheers.	A Team (13613)
