I show that I have both IE 8 and IE 9. I launched IE from a shortcut and for the past month, it has been giving me all kinds of problems, toolbar flashing, error messages saying I can disable add ons if I want, won't let me go to any site.

So, I wanted to d/l IE 9 again but it said I already have the current version. I tried uninstalling 9 and it won't let me uninstall it. It's still there.

Any ideas on how I can start from scratch and get rid of both IE versions and then download a fresh copy of IE 9? I use FF most all the time, but I do like to have a back up of another browser.

and BTW, my performance generally is very slow, even FF keeps saying "not responding" many times. I use Avast running all the time, so there's some protection there. I also ran Ad-Aware and Malware Bytes and Spybot not too long ago.

Thanks!
