microsoft has just updated my windows pc. it installed internet explorer 9 without asking and just shut my pc down and restarted it with no warning. I don't appear to be able to uninstall it, and the worse bit is I have lost the bar at the top with "file", "favourite" etc.
I can find my favourites but don't like the way IE9 does it.
Oh I am mad.
And I only just got used to using IE8. >:(
-
Control panel..........add/remove programs................get rid if you don`t like and revert to IE8
-
You should be able to uninstall it - I have on my Windows boxes.. Control Panel->Installed Programs->Windows Updates or something like that, from memory (since I'm sitting at a Mac right now) :)
-
Yes, sussed it. It did not appear in the old add/remove programs (sorry programs and features) at first. After about 10 minutes the add /remove programs has been updated aswel and I have just removed.
Yippee, happy bunny again.
Thanks chaps.

Forgot to add, I am a bit of luddite, and it takes me awhile to get used to new things and get them how I like it. I probably will go for IE9...... eventually ::)

I was the same, but wouldn't go back fro IE9 now ;)

you can disable/suspend updates..

Do you know how to get toolbar up with File, Edit, View, Favourites, Tolls, Help. ? If I could have that I probably would go for it. Thanks.

Happy to have auto updates Cem. Don't want any nasty bugs. As I will admit to visiting a couple of dodgy joke sights. :y

Right click at the top, and everything is there.

Where my PCs are on 24/7, I found the only sensible way to control updates is to let MS inform me when they are available, so I decide what I want to update, when I want to update, and most importantly of all when I want restart my PC. :y
One day hopefully somebody will come out with a proper secure mainstream desktop operating system and on the command line I will be able to stop / start or restart a package using something along the lines of:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/program_to_restart restart
Linux rules ok. :y

Never gonna happen, whatever one makes another man can break.

Linux, Apple stuff, Android, etc.. All make Microsoft's offerings look pretty 1990's 1980's these days, especially when it comes to package management and updating. :y

I agree with that, I should have said more secure.
Recent Plesk exploit problem is a good example.

Nah, Linux sucks.
Now proper Unix, that shows Linux is a toy ;)
Windows Update, considering the target market, works wonders to be honest. If we all used Linux, the Internet would be a far more hostile place due to compromised machines.

Totally agree - never had any problems with Windows - (never used Apple or Linux) - never lost a hard drive or data although I do have 2 separate back up systems. Always used Norton for antivirus etc and never had issues with that either.
