Need link for IE8 Download

I downloaded IE8 from Microsoft page which included the Bing search without my knowing.
I cannot access my router address with Bing search.

I need a link to a clean, free of toolbars, download of IE8.

Thanks

Change your default search provider if you don't like Bing. You shouldn't be using the search bar to enter URL's anyway - use the address bar. Don't display the toolbars you don't want. There is no other download, you need to configure it the way you want.

That's the problem. Bing takes over the address bar in my case.
If I enter my Modem address it goes everywhere but to my modem settings

I went back to IE7 with no problems. It seems like every download for IE8 has a toolbar add-on.

Are you putting http:// in front of your modem address?

When using IE7 the http is auto inserted after hitting search.

Im not sure if Bing does this. I guess not. I will try that if suckered into Bing again.

Thanks for the help. Need some Tomatoes ? I have too many.

My tomatoes are duds this year - where are you at?

Don't hit Search - just hit the Enter key.

Tomatoes

I live in Iowa.

Finally bought a tiller this year. I use to turn it over (20X30) by shovel. My wife goes overbord on tomatoes. I believe she thinks one plant one tomatoe. We planted 28 plants. One year she bought 60. Drove me nuts. I had tomatoes in every part of the house.

Lots of rain here. Never had to water except when first planted. Their about 6feet tall now. Usually last into October.

Burpee desease proof seeds. I never use herbicide or pest spray.

There is nothing like a bacon lettuce and tomatoe sandwich with ice tea.

Thanks for all of your past help. Your the best on here.

You got that right!

I wish I weren't so far from Iowa, I'd take some off your hands!

Hi symie222,

It looks like you have decided to go back to IE7 and all is working fine now...which is great! I just wanted to let you know that if you ever decide to move back to IE8, you have the option to run with in No Add-ons Mode. This means you will not experience any delays from add-ons when surfing the internet. To do so follow these steps:
Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)

Hope this helps

Cheers,
Cassandra
