You Can Download and Test Drive Internet Explorer 9 Beta

November 29, 2010 by Ian Brown No Comments

Microsoft is still in the testing stages with their latest version of Internet Explorer 9, but you if you feel brave and want to give it a shot, simply go here:

Download and Test Drive Internet Explorer 9 Beta

Although I still prefer and suggest that you use Firefox (get it here) because all of the spyware programs and browser hijacking targets Internet Explorer since most people use it for their Internet browser. So 9 times out of 10, Firefox goes unaffected.

If after you install Internet Explorer 9 Beta, you feel it is not for you and would like to go back to using the previous version you were using before, do this:

  1. Close all programs
  2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel
  3. Click Uninstall a Program under the Programs category
  4. In the Tasks pane, click View installed updates
  5. In the list of installed updates, double-click Windows Internet Explorer 9
  6. In the Uninstall an update dialog box, click Yes

    7. Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.

  7. Follow the instructions to uninstall Internet Explorer 9
  8. When the uninstall program is finished, restart your computer
  9. After you restart your computer, open Internet Explorer
  10. Click About Internet Explorer on the Help menu. If Internet Explorer 7 or 8 appears in the About Internet Explorerdialog box, then you have successfully completed the uninstall.

NOTE: I would only suggest installing a beta version of any program if you are an intermediate to advanced Windows user. Install at your own risk. I have not tried it yet.
