Okay...all you computer wizards.
Number one.HOW DOES A BROWSER(IE9)INSTALL ON MY COMPUTER WITHOUT SHOWING UP IN THE PROGRAMS WINDOW(installed programs)?
Number two.I installed it several days ago.Then removed it.Tried to reinstall...many times.It would not install.SUDDENLY...TONIGHT....THIS IE9 JUST OUT OF NOWHERE RETURNS.no INSTALL,nothing.It shows up in my task mgr,yes.But on my "installed programs" list...it's NOWHERE to be found.And I have NO FILES in my download folder.WTH????I couldn't for the life of me get the "correct updates" that it was calling for off of the update website so it wasn't gonna go in my PC.Tried several install attempts with the IE9 file from the 2 locations.Wouldn't work.Now it shows up fully functional...and clearly working.(with the previous bookmarks in the bookmarks bar...this website...a couple of others that I had put on there.I'm runnin win7.I've never ever heard of anything like this happening.My computer has NO FILE for this program(that I can find).Yet somehow,it's reinstalled itself without any help from me.I did go to the windows update website.When I clicked on a shortcut there for some sort of info,my browser(chrome)suddenly shut down(switched I should say) and the whole screen was in Internet Explorer 9 browser.I'm a tad leery of using it ....is it possible this could be a fake program of some sort grabbing my information?It's just freaky.I downloaded the original file from the Microsoft website...using Google Chrome.The first try at installing the IE9 worked.It actually did load and work...but it wasn't saving my usernames,like for this site or my others.So I uninstalled it and recycled(deleted)the IE9 files and program.It's here on here now though...saving usernames and all...working fine(though right now I'm using Chrome).
ANYONE ever heard of ANYTHING as weird as this?HELP....it's just plain strange.
