It's likely your problem isn't either of the browsers. What antivirus app are you using? Last signature update and full scan?
I use Norton Antivirus and Windows Defender. I also had AdAware, but my friend's husband that looked at it, said I had to many anti-virus programs. He also said that it was getting old (2003). Norton and Windows Defender run automatic scans all the time, and I do manual full scans once per week.
As far as I know, manually uninstalling it should do it. Go to Start, then select Control Panel, then open "Add or Remove Programs" and find IE8 in that list and delete it.
Thanx! But another stupid question: how do I know if I still have IE7 & it's still able to function?
If I take out IE8, and reinstall IE7, it means that I have to also reinstall every program that I installed while IE8 was in my computer. I think I'm going to leave the problem to the professionals to take care of.

No it does not, you may get a warning saying so, but it's not likely you'll have problems.
I keep getting error messages when using IE8 or Firefox. They say: IE Explorer (or Firefox) has encountered an error and needs to close. This is extremely aggravating, and I don't remember getting it while using IE7.
I get it too. It throws up that silly "sorry pal" message, and it's usually a mshtml.dll something or another doing it. If you are working on something, tough cookies. It kicks the page off. I think they lie. They do not have to close. They just like to aggrivate you. Go back to the same page, and get no error message. I never understood that part.
I have had a problem with Firefox crashing lately, but only when I get onto hotmail. It doesn't happen with IE. I just upgraded from Vista to 7 but it's doing it with 7 too. I have another computer w/Vista and it doesn't happen at all.
I have been running IE8 for many months now. Very rarely it will have a problem - but most times it is a web page that was designed in a way incompatible with IE8. Using the compatibility view usually fixes it. IE8 also recovers very well - usually by restoring all the tabs that were active.
IE8 works very well with Windows 7 - the Win 7 taskbar peek feature shows all open tabs of each and every IE8 browser. Very handy. It only shows the first tab of a Firefox or Chrome browser.
